How can I pay in the inflicted payment via card?

Credit/debit card can be used to settle any liabilities inflicted in Neptun. The student can choose which payment item/items (max. 4) would like to fulfill.

You may find here the following detailed instruction about credit/bank card payment.

Please be aware that our service provider (SimplePay) is not in contact with all of the banks around the world. It can be possible that you will not be able to use your credit/bank card for online payments.

Paying in instalments

Until the invoice generated the student can split the payment by him-/herself.

You may find here the following detailed instruction about how you can split a payment.

How can I request an invoice?

You can request a pre-paid invoice in your own name by sending the request "106_Invoice request" through the given liability. By selecting the "In your own name" option in the request (no need to specify a paying partner), the process runs automatically. Once the request has been submitted, the system will generate the invoice within 1-2 minutes.

The generated invoice is available in the Finance - Invoices menu.

Not everyone needs to apply for an invoice, as the system automatically creates an invoice for the student's name and permanent address the day after the payment is fulfilled. If the student’s tuition fee is paid by an organization/company/other personnel, it needs to be registered to the student’s own profile.

You may find here the following detailed instruction about how you can request an invoice.

REFUND

You are eligible for refund of your paid tuition fee fully in the following cases (Regulations on student fees and benefits 10. § (9)):

• your legal status become Deleted or Passive before the deadline for enrolment published in the admission information (Fall term – 14th October; Spring term – 14th March)
• the Faculty Study Comittee accepted your 031 Retrospective request for passive term
• unrightful inflicted fee (you need to submit a 007 request in Neptun)

You are eligible for refund of your paid tuition fee partly in the following case:

• you submit a 032 Dismissal upon request and your legal status become Dismissed after the deadline for enrolment published in the admission information (Fall term – 14th October; Spring term – 14th March)

THE PROCESS

In case of passive, deleted or dismissed student status the Financial Team start the refund process centrally, but your bank account number is essential to the process.

You need to submit the 112 - Request for International Bank Account registration (Neptun/Administration/Requests/Available request forms), if you would like to receive the refund to an international bank account. If you have Hungarian bank account, you can register it to your Neptun site yourself in Neptun/Finances/Settings by clicking on the Add bank account number button. The Neptun system can manage only Bank accounts with IBAN number and bank accounts which correspond to an account holder. BME can not transfer money to Wise/Revolut (alternative) type of accounts.

You can make the process faster by submitting a 007 – Opposition to payment obligation request. Please note that you can find this request by clicking on the Submit request in Neptun/Finances/Payment choosing the correct fee. If you can not submit the 007 request, it means that your refund process have already been started.

Please note that we do not have creditation weekly but monthly.

Based on the location of the added bank account, the transferred amount will arrive presumably:

• to a Hungarian bank account in 1-3 days,
• to a European bank account in 2-3 weeks,
• to a bank account outside of the European region in 4-6 weeks,

after BME start the transaction. When BME transfer the money to a country outside of the European region, the exact timeline is hardly predictable, because BME can not transfer the money directly to these bank accounts. The transfer goes through different banks before the student receive it.

If you have any question or issue you can send an email to financial@bme.hu
