The simple interface provides transparency, making our work easier, and it elevates the student experience, so it is far superior to what it was before.

One thing that really made an impression with me is the way in which our Financial Services department had a significant workload moved off their desks in terms of the automation, the simplicity, and I think most notably the lost payments…we could devote those resources and direct them to something more meaningful in terms of our own operations and our support of students.

Frequently asked questions
How does Flywire handle international tuition payments?
Flywire uses a proprietary global payment network that allows students to pay in their local currency (140+ currencies supported) via local payment methods like bank transfers, credit cards, and e-wallets (Alipay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Flywire then converts the funds and delivers the exact amount to the institution in their local currency, simplifying reconciliation.
Does Flywire support domestic payment processing for U.S. universities?
Yes. Beyond international payments, Flywire provides a comprehensive domestic payment solution including ACH, credit card processing, and 529 plan digital disbursements, all integrated directly into the institution's existing Student Information System (SIS).
What are the security standards for education payment processors?
Top-tier education payment processors like Flywire must maintain PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance, SOC2 Type II certification, and strictly adhere to FERPA and GDPR regulations to ensure student data privacy and financial security.
Does Flywire provide around-the-clock customer support?
Yes, Flywire becomes an extension of your campus, providing your students and families with around-the-clock assistance to help navigate the payment process. Our multilingual experts are available to support payers via phone, chat, email and WeChat in 30 languages to ensure an optimal payment experience.
Does Flywire have the ability to offer payment methods for hundreds of countries worldwide?
Education institutions often don’t have the resources to research and offer country-specific payment methods. This is why our global banking experts develop relationships around the world to provide you with a powerful payment network. We securely process payments in over 140 currencies from more than 240 countries and territories, and protect students from inflated exchange rates by securing wholesale rates and disclosing costs up front.
Why should institutions receive education payments with Flywire?
Flywire securely handles payment processing and fund transfers, eliminating the need for you to share your institution’s banking information online or in print. This eliminates your risk of exposing students and your institution to fraud. Receiving education payments with Flywire is easy as:
1. Booking: students book payments with Flywire in their home currency
2. Exchange: Flywire or our local licensed partner receives payment and processes foreign exchange when necessary
3. Payment: Flywire sends funds to institutions in their currency via batch disbursements with easy reconciliation.
