Video transcript
My name is Heidi Bison. I am the associate director of student accounts at Bates College. One kind of fun fact about our university is about 75% of our junior class studies abroad every year. So, it's a big initiative to give our students the opportunity. Bates College started with Flywire using international payments for many years and then transitioned into the SFS full suite of tuition management as well as collection management and now utilizing 529 payments. Using the Flywire suite has been fabulous for Bates College. It's really transformed how our families can make tuition payments. It's also reduced the workload within our small student accounts office. We are a team of two. So less handling those manual check payments. So across the board just made it easier for really all parties involved.
