Flutterwave has introduced a new payment product called Tuition, to enable African customers to conveniently pay various fees to educational institutions within Africa and abroad using their local currencies.
With aspirations to expand to other countries in Africa and beyond, tuition enables students, parents, guardians, and sponsors to pay tuition at more than 40 universities in the UK.
High schools, colleges, universities, and several international edutech platforms are among the educational institutions that are accessible on the site.
“We are excited to launch Tuition to support the dreams of African students across all levels who want to study anywhere without worrying about how to meet the deadline for their school fees payment. With Tuition, we are providing a safer, reliable, and affordable means for African students to pursue their dreams and seamlessly get financial support from parents, guardians, and sponsors.” Flutterwave CEO, Olugbenga Agboola said.
Tuition is available in Nigeria for UK school fee payments and will soon be rolled out to other African countries in the coming months.
As it expands access to the product, Flutterwave also has plans to add more schools in Africa, the UK, the US, Canada, France, and Germany.
Flutterwave’s FAQ page states that users can use their debit card, credit card, Google Pay, or bank transfer (Nigeria only) to pay for tuition from Cameroun, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.
