Case Study: Le Cordon Bleu Peru achieves streamlined international payments and automated reconciliation with Flywire

Flywire Helps Le Cordon Bleu Peru Bring its Culinary Excellence to Students Around the World

Le Cordon Bleu Peru, a leading culinary and hospitality educator attracting students from more than 70 countries, struggled with slow, costly international bank transfers, manual reconciliation and high transaction fees that created extra work for staff and friction for payers. To streamline global tuition payments and offer local-currency options, the school turned to Flywire’s global payment platform.

Flywire was deployed in March 2021 to provide credit/debit card processing and local methods (including PagoEfectivo for Peru), integrate with student portals, automate payment delivery and reconciliation, and offer 24/7 multilingual payer support. As a result, Flywire reduced staff workload and inbound calls, improved student satisfaction, and grew to account for up to 60% of student payments within six months (up from about 4%), while enabling faster, more accurate receipts and lower transaction costs.
