Important Update for Virtual University Students: Transition to Recommended Fee Payment Channels The Virtual University of Pakistan (VU) has recently issued a crucial announcement concerning the methods students use to pay their dues. Effective immediately, all local students are advised to cease depositing their fees directly into the University's accounts via Account-to-Account transfers, such as IFT, IBFT, or RAAST. This change aims to enhance the traceability of payments and ensure timely updates to students' fee records.​ Understanding the Change Previously, some students opted to transfer their dues directly into the University's bank accounts listed on their fee vouchers. While convenient, these methods often lacked sufficient information, making it challenging for the University to trace and verify payments. Consequently, this led to delays in updating fee records and, in some cases, financial discrepancies.​ To address these issues, VU has outlined specific channels through which students should now make their payments.​ Approved Fee Payment Channels Students are encouraged to use the following methods to ensure their payments are accurately recorded:​ HBL Bank Branch Network HBL Konnect (App / Agents Network)​ VU LMS +3 VU LMS +3 VU LMS +3 Bank Alfalah Branch Network Bank Alfalah App​ VU LMS Telenor Easy Paisa App Agents Network​ NADRA e-Sahulat Franchise Network​ Virtual University UBL Bank Branch Network​ Virtual University +2 VU LMS +2 VU LMS +2 Online Payment "Pay" option available at the Admission Portal / LMS Account Book using Debit / Credit Card​ Utilizing these channels ensures that payments are traceable and promptly reflected in students' fee records.​ Action Required for Unupdated Payments If you have already made a payment using the previously discouraged methods and your fee status remains unupdated, please take the following steps:​ Send an email to accounts_hbl@vu.edu.pk Include your Admission Form Number or Voucher Number Attach proof of payment​ Ensure this information is provided by April 16, 2025, to facilitate verification and necessary guidance.​ Why This Change Matters The transition to specified payment channels is not merely procedural; it's a strategic move to:​ Enhance Financial Transparency: Ensuring all transactions are easily traceable helps maintain accurate financial records. Improve Operational Efficiency: Streamlining payment methods reduces administrative burdens and accelerates fee processing. Protect Student Interests: Minimizing payment discrepancies safeguards students from potential financial losses.​ Conclusion The Virtual University of Pakistan remains committed to providing quality education and services to its students. This update on fee payment methods reflects the University's dedication to operational excellence and student satisfaction.
