Case Study: Education First achieves streamlined global travel payments with B4B Payments

Steve Clark - Customer Case Study

Education First (EF), a global leader in educational travel operating in 114 countries with 52,000 employees, needed a fast, secure way to send funds from its Zurich headquarters to tour directors in the field. EF selected B4B Payments and its prepaid corporate expense cards and round-the-clock corporate expense management system (partnering since 2017) to simplify on‑the‑road payments and reduce back‑office administration.

B4B Payments implemented prepaid expense cards plus an online expense management platform that enables four‑eyes authorisation, differentiated budgets and a clear audit trail. The solution let EF distribute funds quickly around the world (from London and Lima to Tokyo and Krakow), cut administrative workload, strengthen controls and free tour directors to focus on travellers — delivering measurable improvements in speed, efficiency and cost control for the organisation.
