In an increasingly globalized education sector, schools, universities, and training institutions are frequently handling payments from students across different countries for tuition, accommodation, and other fees. Cross-border payments involve multiple currencies, payment methods, exchange rate fluctuations, compliance checks, and delayed settlements—posing significant challenges for financial management.
WooshPay, a fintech company specializing in global payment solutions, offers an all-in-one platform for educational institutions to manage cross-border payments efficiently and securely. This article explores how WooshPay helps optimize payment processes and enhance financial operations.
1. Support for Global Payment Methods Aligned with Student Preferences
WooshPay supports over 50 international and local payment methods, including Alipay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Whether students prefer mobile payments popular in China or credit cards and bank transfers common in Europe and the Americas, WooshPay has them covered.
Additionally, WooshPay supports large transfers up to RMB 500,000 per transaction—ideal for tuition and accommodation fees—without consuming the student’s annual $50,000 foreign exchange quota.
2. Seamless Integration with Existing Systems, No Development Needed
WooshPay offers API integration and no-code solutions with widely used accounting systems like Sage and QuickBooks. School staff can simply add a WooshPay payment link to invoices, allowing students to pay directly without manual intervention. The system automatically reconciles payments, significantly reducing administrative workload.
Case Study: Peking University HSBC Business School (PHBS UK) integrated WooshPay with Sage to automate payments for tuition, accommodation, and on-campus expenses.
3. Multi-Currency Accounts & T+1 Fast Settlement
WooshPay supports multi-currency accounts in USD, GBP, EUR, CNY, and more, allowing institutions to manage foreign exchange flexibly and minimize conversion losses. Funds are settled as fast as T+1 business day after payment, with no hidden fees or intermediary charges—ensuring full amount receipt.
4. All-in-One Dashboard for Complete Payment Visibility
Through WooshPay’s dashboard, educational institutions can:
- Monitor transaction status in real time
- Download transaction reports and reconciliation files
- Manage refunds, payouts, and withdrawals in one place
- Visualize transaction trends and financial performance
The Royal Marsden Hospital in the UK uses WooshPay’s dashboard to handle payments, invoicing, and reconciliation digitally.
