Payments from Sanctioned Countries

All payments to University of the Arts London must be compliant with International Sanction laws. It is your responsibility for the arrangements for paying fees and other money to the University. It is also your responsibility that these arrangements do not breach any of these laws.

For more information, see the UK Government website for a list of countries. Where these sanctions apply.

Flywire

UAL has partnered with Flywire to provide students with an online payment platform. Flywire's Head Office is based in the USA. This means any payments using our portals must follow the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) regulations. These regulations must comply for sanctioned countries. Additionally, Flywire takes a risk-based approach and prohibit payments in certain countries.

Please be aware that Flywire are unable to accept payments where:

  • The student or payee is resident in one of any of the sanctioned countries/regions
  • The payment originates from one of the sanctioned countries/regions
  • The payee is a named sanctioned individual
  • The payee is resident in a country that Flywire have deemed to be on their list of prohibited countries.

Contacting Flywire

Get in contact with Flywire using Live Chat or email. They will be able to help with any queries. But they will not be able to go into any detail relating to the sanction rules.

If you (or the person paying your fees) cannot make a payment using Flywire, please contact the Fee Management team. The University will process checks in respect of the sources of the funds used to pay fees and other amounts due to the University.

You will be asked to complete a compliance check. Additionally, you will receive further instructions before payment can be initiated.
