UBC ePayment

Overview

UBC ePayment is an enterprise level service offered to UBC entities by UBC IT that allows those 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 Administrative System. Authorized transactions will be transmitted from ePayment to Workday daily, provided the ePayment account has been set up with the correct GL code / workday tag..
