Case Study: LASALLE College of the Arts achieves streamlined, transparent international student payments with Flywire

How Flywire helps Lasalle College of the Arts enhance the student experience

LASALLE College of the Arts, a Singapore arts and design institution with a large international student body, struggled with slow, inconvenient cross-border tuition payments. International students and their families faced language barriers, unclear foreign-exchange conversions and unexpected bank charges when using telegraphic transfers (T/T), while LASALLE’s Accounts Receivable team had difficulty identifying and reconciling incoming payments, often issuing mistaken reminders.

Flywire provided a free, secure international payment solution via a standalone portal that LASALLE rolled out for semester fees and later extended to application fees and hostel bills. Flywire’s localized, multilingual interface, transparent currency conversion and single-payer data capture let students send and track full payments in their preferred currency, and enabled AR to consistently identify and reconcile payments; LASALLE reports faster implementation, improved efficiency, better student experience and strong ongoing client support from Flywire.
