Case Study: University of West London achieves instant student hardship support with B4B Payments

UWL use B4B Payments cards to tackle student hardship

The University Of West London (UWL), known as The Careers University with campuses in Ealing, Brentford and Reading, needed a fast, reliable way to support students facing financial hardship while continuing their studies. To meet this duty of care, the university turned to B4B Payments and its prepaid card solution to deliver timely hardship assistance.

B4B Payments provides instantaneously loaded prepaid B4B cards issued to students once they qualify for hardship support, enabling staff to make rapid or out-of-hours disbursements. The B4B Payments system has improved UWL’s responsiveness to student needs—staff report it is “really easy to use,” and students receive funds immediately when support is required.
