Uni-Pay

Uni-Pay, founded in 2009, is a UK-based international payment solution targeted at educational institutions. The service aims to streamline the collection of international student fees by eliminating international bank transfer charges or credit card fees. It provides a secure and cost-effective way for overseas students to pay their fees in their local currency through their local banking system. The company offers low-cost solutions with excellent exchange rates, minimizing or even eliminating international transfer fees in most cases. Uni-Pay's unique feature lies in its two-component secure web portal - an account management portal for educational institutions and a separate payment portal for students, ensuring a seamless payment process. This innovative approach not only benefits educational institutions by reducing associated costs but also provides students with preferential exchange rates, effectively lowering the overall cost incurred in payment transactions. As a Financial Services and Payments industry player, Uni-Pay's solution has the potential to address the pain points experienced by the education sector in managing international student payments. Considering the increasing globalization of education, Uni-Pay's tailored service responds to a growing market demand for efficient and cost-effective international payment solutions.
