Hi everyone,
Regarding to the payment (additionally to the previous message) - I want to share a heads-up about payment processing times, especially for fellow international students. Even when using "instant" payment options, the funds can take longer than expected to reach UMPI.
In my experience, I used UMPI's official Transfermate service (with Trustly for "instant" transfer). Despite paying a premium for faster processing, it still took over a week for the payment to reach UMPI (after Transfermate message that "the payment has been completed successfully"). On top of that, I received a message stating that the payment is still "subject to approval and final verification."
Just wanted to share this so others can plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute stress regarding payments.
