For both sterling payments overseas and payment of invoices in foreign currencies, the University uses a preferential banking arrangement through Western Union, detached from the main banking processes. Foreign payments are processed once a week the deadline for submissions is Wednesday at 12pm, to enable the payments to be made on Thursday.

There are no exceptions to this deadline, anything received after this will be processed in the next week’s payment run.

On Agresso, a purchase order should be raised in the usual way using the Supplier ID . The purchase order should be goods receipted.

Payments can take between two and ten days to be received into the Suppliers account, dependent on the payment destination country and the currency.

Unless an arrangement has been made with the supplier, the University does not pay the recipients banking charges/ costs of transfer for international banking.
