Case Study: Curtin University saves time and money with Flywire

Curtin University automates payment process to save time and money with Flywire

Curtin University, a globally recognized institution with nine campuses across five countries and more than 12,500 international students, was struggling with a manual international payments process that created long queues, difficult reconciliation, and frustration for both students and staff. As international enrollment grew, the university needed a faster, more transparent way to handle cross-border tuition payments.

Curtin University implemented Flywire’s global payment platform to automate international receivables, letting students pay online in local currency and preferred payment methods with 24/7 multilingual support. With Flywire, Curtin saved 6,700+ hours in reconciliation, refunds, and support time, reduced bank and credit card fees by more than AUD $1.1 million, improved payment visibility and security, and expanded payment processing across 115+ countries and 60+ currencies.
