Tuition peace of mind, simplified student payments

Our client is an international payment platform that provides payment plans for Chinese students studying abroad. Our client connects students to thousands of education and student housing institutions worldwide, providing tailor-made payment plans in order to simplify the headache of international tuition fees.

The problem

Working with traditional payment platforms within their existing infrastructure, our client suffered from high manual processing costs, high overheads and fees, and less than  ideal transaction speeds.

The impact

This led to poor outcomes for their student customers who were exposed to high transaction fees, delays in payments, and in some cases, incorrect payment amounts due to unexpected processing fees.

The solution

The client began working with Airwallex in 2017, opting for full integration with our FX and payments APIs, and immediately saw a reduction in their manual processing requirements.

The outcome

End users of the online platform enjoyed much lower fees, and more timely delivery of their payments in full, reducing the stress and hassle these users can face when dealing with international payments. Customers can now focus on their education without worrying about complicated international transfers and unexpected fees.

Most importantly, access to our global payment network gave our client access to multiple new regions, expanding their horizons and unlocking previously unreachable markets.
