You just need your IADT student ID, date of birth and a valid credit or debit card to pay your fees.  Your student ID starts with the capital letter N, followed by 8 numbers, eg N00123456.  Enter your date of birth in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

Before making any payments, you should ensure that the amount you are trying to pay does not exceed any limits placed on your card by its issuer.  For example, some cards (especially debit cards) have a daily or individual transaction limit, and you may need to make smaller payments over a few days if paying a larger amount.

Some banks require verification to complete a transaction with a credit or debit card.  This may involve sending a code to the phone number associated with the card and account.
