Let international students pay tuition from home — in their own currency
Traditional international wire transfers are slow, expensive, and a reconciliation headache for your business office. Give international students and their families a simpler way to pay tuition, fees, and housing in their own local currency — powered by Herring Bank's partnership with TransferMate, with payment links installed directly on your college's pages.
What it is
What is international student tuition payment?
International student tuition payment is a way for colleges and universities to accept tuition, fees, and accommodation payments from students and families overseas in their own home currency, rather than relying on costly international bank wires.
Herring Bank's International Student Payments solution, powered by our partnership with TransferMate, lets your institution collect these payments cleanly and affordably. We provide your school the TransferMate application and help install secure payment links directly on your college's web pages, so an international student simply clicks to pay in their local currency through familiar payment methods. TransferMate handles the currency conversion, regulatory compliance, and payment referencing, and funds settle to your institution in your home currency — without the high fees, poor exchange rates, and multi-day delays of traditional wire transfers. For international students, that means paying college fees from abroad is fast and predictable; for your bursar and business office, it means cleaner reconciliation and lower processing costs across every term.
