eCheck Payments

Tuition and Student Accounts Receivable

www.asu.edu/interactive, "Pay Your ASU Charges"

Tuition and Student Accounts Receivable charges can be paid with an electronic on-line eCheck.  

  • eChecks are ASU’s preferred payment method and are accepted with no service charge or additional cost to the student.
  • eCheck is a fast and simple payment method. 
  • eCheck is an available payment option on ASU Interactive, “Pay Your ASU Charges”.
  • Instead of your debit card number, you will need your bank's routing number and your account number.  This number is available on the bottom of your check or from your financial institution.

What is an eCheck?

Similar to a debit or check card, the eCheck electronically debits a checking or savings account.  To make an eCheck payment you will need your bank’s routing number, sometimes referred to as the Transit Number or the ABA number, and your account number.  This information is available on the bottom of your check (click here to see sample check) or from your financial institution.  An example of where to find this information on a check is also available online when an eCheck payment is made.


Can I use any type of check as an eCheck?

eCheck payments can be made from regular U.S. checking and savings accounts in US dollars.  Checks issued from money market accounts, credit card companies, mutual funds, brokerage accounts, home equity or other lines of credit cannot be processed as an eCheck.  Personal checks are accepted by mail or in person.


Do I need a paper check to make an eCheck payment?

No, a paper check is not required.  You will need the account holder’s name, the bank’s routing number, and the account number. 

 

What types of charges can be paid with an eCheck?

 eChecks are accepted for payment of tuition and student accounts receivable charges.  Log onto ASU Interactive, select “Pay Your ASU Charges”, then select either “Tuition Services” or “Student Accounts Receivable”.  You will be directed to provide required information before transfer to QuikPAY to securely process your payment. 

Am I required to reenter my bank account information each time I make a payment?

You are required to reenter eCheck payment information, unless you create a payment profile.  Payment profiles may be securely saved on QuikPAY when a payment is made.  QuikPAY provides two options for creating payment profiles:

 

  1. When making an eCheck payment on QuikPAY, assign and save a profile name on the page titled “Provide eCheck Information”.  Or,
  2. Select “Payment Profiles” from the menu on the left side of the QuikPAY page to add an eCheck or credit card payment profile.

After saving your payment profile, you will be able to choose your profile as a payment type.  Select “Make Payment” from the menu on the left side of the QuikPAY page and your payment profiles will be available for selection in the Payment Method drop down box.   

 

When will my bank account be charged for the eCheck payment?

Your bank account will be charged overnight for payments made prior to 3:00 PM Arizona time and the next night for payments made after 3:00 PM Arizona time.  eCheck payments made on week-ends or holidays will be processed on the next business day.

 

What if I don’t have adequate funds in my bank account when I make an eCheck payment?

Your bank balance is not accessed at the time an eCheck payment is made.  You are responsible for ensuring that adequate funds are available in your checking or savings account.  Your eCheck payment will be accepted online and processed to your bank as described in the previous question. 

 

If funds are not available for the eCheck payment, or the account is invalid or closed, ASU will be notified one to three days after the original payment was made and you will receive an email.  The returned eCheck payment will be charged back to you on Student Accounts Receivable for the full amount of the payment.  A $15 returned eCheck fee will be charged on Student Accounts Receivable.  If the returned eCheck payment is not resolved within five business days, an additional $12 fee will be charged.  After five additional days, students may be subject to withdrawal from classes, with tuition and registration fees billed in accordance with the refund schedule.  Visit or call the Collections Office, Temporary Student Business Services Building (East of the Memorial Union), (480) 965-5220.
