TUITION PAYMENT METHODS, 2012-13

The accepted methods of payment for tuition and fees are: INTERNET WEB BANKING PAYMENTS, DEPOSITS, WIRE TRANSFERS, CHECKS and VISA/MASTER Card. According to Greek Law, starting January 2012, tuition can not be paid in cash at the Cashier’s Office.  However, after school activities can still be paid in cash at the Cashier’s Office, if the amount is less than 1,500 €. A. Internet Web Banking Payments: ACS Athens is connected with the DIAS Inter-bank Electronic Payment system, which includes all Greek Banks. ACS Athens is showing as a recognized Vendor, (category: Other Companies), at all Greek banks’ web banking sites, (similarly to utility, credit card, telephone, etc. companies). Parents would be able to make payments to the school in two ways: either from the convenience of their home using their own bank’s web banking site, or visiting their own bank and make the payment at the teller’s desk. The process is as follows: The parent is required to obtain from the school cashier Mrs. Lora Kordolaimi, (email:kordolaimil@acs.gr, or call 210 6393200x208) a payment transaction code which identifies the student. This is a permanent payment code, there is no need to ask for a new one every time you make a payment. This code is similar to the transaction payment codes that many utility and telephone companies show on their billings.   The parent could either make an electronic payment through his/hers bank web banking site, following their bank’s payment instructions, or physically visit his/hers bank and make the payment at the teller’s desk. In both cases the school provided payment transaction code must be used as the payment description. The cost for each of these payment transactions is 0.3 Euro, (30 cents of a Euro), regardless of transaction amount or Bank. B. Bank Deposit information and Wire Transfers

the Piraeus Bank, www.easypay.gr. This site is written in both English and Greek. You do not have to be
the Bank's customer to use it. To make a payment follow the site' Quick Access menu:
>> Education-Information >> Colleges-UniversitiesAssist. Schools >> ACS Athens and follow the simple payment instructions.
Please note that VISA/MASTER card companies charge a commission which reduces the amount the school receives.
Since the school will need to recoup this commission, please, add 1.5% to the transaction amount you wish
to pay to the school.
For example, if you wish to pay to the school 1,000 € with your VISA / Master card, you should send 1,015 €.
