Credit Card Service Fee

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso is committed to providing students and their families a range of options for paying their educational expenses. For many years, we have accepted credit cards as a form of payment, and as a result, have paid the associated processing charges imposed by credit card companies on those transactions. As the use of credit cards for making payment has increased, the transaction fees assessed have become extremely expensive for the university. Therefore, a service fee on credit card transactions in the amount of 2 percent ($3.00 minimum service fee) of the credit card payment will be charged by TTUHSC El Paso’s third party processor, Touchnet PayPath®.

A service fee program will be implemented beginning April 3, 2017 and will apply to student account payments made via credit card on or after that date.

The university will continue to provide the following payment methods that will not incur the service fee:

• Debit Cards or E-Checks
• Paper Checks
• Cash
• Money Orders
• Cashier's Checks
• Traveler's Checks and
• Business Checks
