Payment methods
Credit or debit card
Credit or debit card payments are made via the booking system (please see the Booking Manual for the necessary steps). Usually, the best and cheapest way for you to pay is via credit card in our online system.
A service payment provider company supply the online payment option. In some rare cases, you are charged a percentage of the amount you are paying when making a payment using a credit or debit card. This amount is not paid to us, but is paid directly to the service payment provider company.
NB: It is not possible to use American Express when you make your payments.
Paying by card is easiest — but some credit cards will incur extra charges
The charges for cards are automatically added to the amount you have selected to pay to the Housing Foundation whenever you are using the online payment option. The amount paid to the payment service provider. The payment service provider will not appear in your Account Status page on your flow, as it is not paid to the Housing Foundation – it will only appear in your credit card statement.
Saving costs: Online payment versus bank transfer
When paying via bank transfer, we charge a fee for “reception of a payment via bank transfer”.
Therefore, in most cases the cheapest way for you to make a payment is by paying online in your workflow with a credit card. However, it depends on how much you are paying – in some cases it will actually be cheaper for you to make a bank transfer (please see the following image).
In order for you to avoid paying fees when we are returning your deposit, it is important that you make sure your credit card is valid up to 6 months after your contract end date. The deposit will be returned to the latest used credit cards. Please have that in mind when making the last payment of your stay. Read more about deposit returns here.
Bank Transfer
Paying via bank transfer
If you pay via bank transfer, the Housing Foundation charges a fee. Remember to add this fee to your payment. You can find our fee list here
To make an international bank transfer, you need to indicate our SWIFT code and IBAN number, and name the Housing Foundation as the beneficiary. You must provide your tenant ID, otherwise we can’t trace the payment to you and confirm receipt.
If we need to transfer money to you, please provided us with your SWIFT and IBAN numbers, which you can get from your bank.
