Quick answer:
VIU recommends starting a payment 5 to 7 business days before the fee deadline, and says an online bill payment takes 1 to 2 business days to confirm. Parents or other payers can add Vancouver Island University as a payee in their own online banking and use the student's nine-digit ID as the account number. The math on this page uses $435/month as an example tuition; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.
Format: Your nine-digit VIU student ID, entered as the account number. Use your nine-digit student ID as the account number; your balance is shown in the My Student Record portal under the Finances tab, then Fees and Due Dates.

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% cash back on top. On a $435/month Vancouver Island University tuition, that's roughly $157 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same tuition.
On a $435/month tuition, a 2% cash-back card returns about $8.70/month, and Neobanc adds $4.35 on top, roughly $157 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.
Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or pre-authorized debit earns nothing; the same tuition through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $157 a year. If you miss the fee deadline, a 5% late fee is applied to your account, and an additional 5% late fee is charged on any balance still outstanding later in the term. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
