Challenge
The University of Toronto, one of Canada's largest universities with a significant international student population, was facing challenges with their international student payment processes. International students were struggling with expensive and slow payment methods to pay their tuition and fees, leading to delayed payments and poor student experience.
The university's existing payment infrastructure was not optimized for international students, resulting in high costs for students, lengthy processing times, and administrative burden for the university. They needed a solution that would make it easier and more affordable for international students to pay their fees while reducing the operational complexity for the university.
Convera has transformed the payment experience for our international students. The faster processing times and better rates have significantly improved student satisfaction while streamlining our operations. — University of Toronto Finance Team
