Flywire Corporation and Blackbaud recently announced an exciting partnership that aims to streamline tuition payments for international K-12 students in the United States. This strategic collaboration will see Flywire become the preferred payment method for students attending Blackbaud’s K-12 school customers across the country. By integrating Flywire into Blackbaud’s Tuition Management platform, both students and schools can look forward to a seamless payment experience that simplifies currency conversion and cross-border transactions, making the process more accessible and efficient for all parties involved.
Enhancing International Student Enrollment in K-12 Schools
In a bid to boost international student enrollment, K-12 boarding schools and independent schools are ramping up their recruitment and retention strategies. From embracing digital outreach tools to diversifying recruitment efforts and increasing support services for students, schools are leaving no stone unturned in their quest to attract a diverse student body. One key area of focus is the enhancement of payment processes to reduce barriers to enrollment. The partnership between Flywire and Blackbaud addresses this need by offering a secure, real-time, and online payment processing solution that benefits students, families, and schools alike.
Simplifying Payments for International Families
Traditionally, international families paying high-cost K-12 school fees in the US have had to navigate the complexities of international wires and credit card payments, often leading to high fees and a lack of visibility into the payments made. With Flywire seamlessly integrated into the Blackbaud Tuition Management platform, schools can now offer families a secure and efficient payment processing system that aligns with their existing reconciliation processes. This turnkey integration provides around-the-clock multilingual support, ensuring that both front-end and back-end users have access to up-to-date payment information in real time.
Empowering K-12 Schools with Innovative Solutions
As a leading software provider for the K-12 market, Blackbaud recognizes the importance of streamlining payment processes for international students and schools. By partnering with Flywire, Blackbaud is able to offer its customers a cutting-edge payment solution that simplifies international payments and improves the overall enrollment experience for international students. Mark Davis, vice president of education products at Blackbaud, emphasizes the significance of this integration in enhancing the operational efficiency of K-12 independent schools and simplifying the payment process for international families.
Looking Ahead
The partnership between Flywire and Blackbaud signifies a significant step forward in enhancing the payment experience for international students attending K-12 schools in the United States. By leveraging innovative technology and strategic collaborations, both companies are committed to delivering exceptional payment experiences that benefit students, families, and schools alike. As the partnership continues to evolve, the focus remains on building a strong foundation that supports the diverse needs of the K-12 education sector and fosters greater accessibility and efficiency in tuition payments for international families.
