How to pay your fees

Preferred Method - Custom House

CPIT prefers students paying fees from outside of New Zealand to use the Custom House payment option. Custom House is a safe and fast payment method that enables CPIT to quickly identify your payment so an Offer of Place can be issued in a timely manner for student visa purposes.

Custom House is simple and easy to use, and provides you with the option to pay in your local currency or in various major currencies, as well as enabling you to track the payment progress on the website.

Please read the Custom House payment instructions before proceeding to the on-line payment system below.
