Make a Payment Overview

Online banking allows you to access your accounts and make various financial transactions on the Internet. You can use online banking to pay bills or transfer money to other accounts. There are options to use either a computer or a mobile device such as a cell phone or tablet.

Generally, online banking transactions cost less than using in-branch teller services or ATMs and allows you to check your transactions online as they are processed.

Canadian Payments: Using Online Banking

Step-by-Step Guide: Using Online Banking

Step 1: Create a Canadian bank account

Once you have settled into Canada, it is recommended to create a Canadian Bank account for your ongoing daily transactions during your stay.

There is also an option to make your future tuition payments using Online Banking as opposed to Flywire.

If this is your preference you will need to create an account with one of the financial institutions listed below. The process of doing so is found on the individual websites.

Step 2: Create a Bill Payment Account

To make payments to the HCDSB, you will need to create a Bill Payment Account with your selected financial institution. This may be done online or in person at the bank.

Step 3: Add the HCDSB as a “Payee”

Add the Halton Catholic District School Board as a Payee in your Bill Payment Account. Do this by using the Search function to find “HALTON CATHOLIC DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD”.

Please note that this will not be available if your bank is not listed below.

Step 4: Add your Student ID Number to payment details

When completing your payment details make sure to add your ISP/True North ID Number (9-digit number). The number allows the International Student Department to quickly confirm your payments.

If you are transferring from another school board in Canada, or if you are a new student, please contact us at isp@hcdsb.org for further instructions.

Step 5: Add the payment amount

Add the amount to be paid to the Board by referring to the fees indicated on the invoice or letter you received.
