If you do not have access to the bank details task on MySIS, please contact the Research Degrees Officer for your school.

1. First, login to your MySIS account and complete the online form with your UK bank details.
2. Once logged in to MySIS, please click on the top tab ‘My Finances’, then navigate to the ‘Bank Account Details’ section. This is an encrypted system; only you and the Finance Accounts Payable team will have access to this information. 
3. It is important to emphasise that it is a quicker process if a student arrives in the UK, opens a bank account, and then gets the payment disbursed directly into their UK bank account. Guidance on how to open a UK bank account is available on the Banking in the UK webpage.

If you require a letter to open an UK bank account, you must be fully enrolled and have a UK address. Please contact the Research Degrees Office.
