Integration Excellence
Customise the payment experience across your student journey.
Education payments connect complex processes across the student journey – with success in one payment triggering a necessary next step on the path to enrolment and continued study. Application and administration fees may be charged. Tuition fee deposits are often required to secure a place and facilitate the issuance of a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number, which is needed for a student visa application. And increasingly, institutions may require students to commit to an instalment plan in order to complete enrolment.
Flywire offers integrations to fit your SIS workflow and removes the possibility of payments becoming a roadblock to enrolment and retention.

Research Insights
Guiding the international student’s financial journey
Research-backed advice for institutions in Spain and France
International students come from so many different countries. Maybe they have unique experiences, and it’s hard to give general advice, but I would appreciate at least some information – on a website or in a pamphlet. Ideally for [their] own country, how [they] can make the payments? What is it going to look like? How long will it take?
Flywire makes education payments simple and fast. In today’s fast paced world, any additional time required to manage the payment process creates a barrier for the student.
