Payment Methods for External (Non-Penn State) Customers



Only to be used AFTER you receive your monthly invoice

  1. Check made payable to: The Pennsylvania State University, Research Accounting, 227 W. Beaver Avenue, Suite 401, State College, PA 16801-4819
  2. Credit Card: Send an email to res-acct@psu.edu to request a link to convergepay.com Hosted Payments. Do not send Credit Card information by email. All payment information is entered on the convergepay.com site by the customer.
  3. ACH/Bank Transfer: Please contact res-acct@psu.edu to request confidential bank transfer information.

    For Penn State to find and retrieve your ACH/wire payment, you must follow up with a second email to res-acct@psu.edu to confirm your payment by providing the payment amount, the payment date, and the invoice number. Additionally, referencing your invoice number prefixed by “LEO” (ex: LEO 8.2025 27-573) on the ACH/Wire provides the best means for your payment to be successfully located.

    **Customer is responsible for any/all exchange rate fees, bank fees, and wire transfer fees.
