To date, we have electronically processed 2,000+ Flywire 529 disbursement payments through an automated feed into our SIS. We estimate our time savings to be nearly 74 hours so far this year as a result of Flywire’s 529 disbursement solution. This solution definitely meets the needs and expectations of our students and families.

Ridiculously amazing. This disbursement solution will continue to be a game changer for not only ours, but our student/parent payment processing needs.

It used to take up to 10 days to get a check from a 529 provider and another day to get it onto a student account. Now, it takes as little as two days.
