Refund Choices with Single Sign-On

YOUR SCHOOL UTILIZES BANKMOBILE DISBURSEMENTS TO DELIVER YOUR REFUND

When it comes to deciding how to get your money, you deserve choices. Your choices include:

DEPOSIT TO AN EXISTING ACCOUNT – Money is transferred to an existing account the same business day we receive funds from your school. Typically, it takes 1 – 2 business days for the receiving bank to credit the money to your account.

DEPOSIT TO A BANKMOBILE VIBE CHECKING ACCOUNT – If you open a BankMobile Vibe Checking Account (upon identity verification), money is deposited the same business day we receive funds from your school.

At some schools a paper check option may be available.

To Get Started:

First, make sure your mailing address is up to date with your school. Then, log into your school’s student portal. Look for a link or tab that allows you to select a refund preference. Specific instructions for your student portal will be emailed to you when it’s time to get started.

Are You Due A Refund?

If you don’t receive financial aid, you still may receive money back from the school in the future. After all, you may drop a class or make an overpayment. Going through this process now can ensure you’ll receive any money owed to you by your school in a timely manner. If you’re due a refund, you’ll get an email from us letting you know when it’s been processed. You can also have refund alerts sent directly to your mobile phone. Signing up is easy:
Step 1

Log in to your profile

Step 2

Under the ‘User Profile’ tab, select ‘Mobile Alerts’

Step 3

Follow the prompts. (Text message fees by your service provider may still apply)

FAQs
What kind of money might I receive?

The most common type of money we disburse to students are funds left over from financial aid awards, loans or grants after tuition has been paid. Students receiving these funds have usually requested this additional support to help with books and living expenses. Other types of money may include reimbursement for tuition overpayment or a dropped class. We use the term “refund” but your school may have another name for these funds, such as a disbursement, residual or a stipend.

How is my money delivered?

Delivery of refund money is a multi-step process. First, your school draws funds from the respective loan and/or grant provider and applies it to your student account. Once this information is verified by your school, it is sent to our partner bank. Once the specific refund information and funds are received, it is processed and disbursed according to your selection.

Can I change my refund preference for receiving money from my school?

Yes. Just log in to RefundSelection.com and select “refund preferences” from the “Refund” menu option. Once on the page, simply make your new selection and click the “Update Preference” button to complete the process. Be aware that your new selection will only affect future money you receive from your school.

 

Please note, there may be circumstances where your ability to change your refund preference may be restricted. For example, if we become aware of potential ID theft or compromised account.
