UBC ePayment

Overview

UBC ePayment is an enterprise level service offered by UBC IT that allows participating UBC departments/merchants to process financial transactions online. Depending on the needs of the department, merchants can sign up for one or more of the three key ePayment components to process payments: Web Service, Student Financial Account and Virtual Terminal. Merchants are able to search/view these transactions, issue back refunds, and view payment reports via the ePayment Adminstrative module. All ePayment transactions are automatically deposited or withdrawn from departmental speedchart or account as ePayment is integrated with UBC Financial Management System (FMS).
