Case Study
Client
A UK university with 2,800 international students from 70 countries, collecting tuition fees in over 15 currencies each academic year.
Challenge
International students were losing 3–5% on exchange rate margins when paying tuition through their banks, leading to frequent underpayment, late payment, and complaints. The university's finance team spent significant time reconciling shortfalls and chasing top-ups.
Our Approach
We implemented a multi-currency fee collection platform that offered students transparent, competitive exchange rates in their home currency. The university received exact GBP amounts with full reconciliation, eliminating shortfalls and reducing administrative burden.
