Let’s be honest—international tuition payments are still kind of a mess.

A student in Thailand pays a deposit through a bank. The agent in Nigeria emails a screenshot. The university in Canada isn’t sure which intake it’s for. And somewhere in between, someone asks, “Did we pay too much or not enough?”

Sound familiar?

That’s exactly what Qualy and TransferMate are fixing—together.

Let’s talk about what actually happens behind the scenes

At the center of this, you’ve got three people trying to do the right thing:

• A student who wants to study abroad, fast.
• An agent who wants to get paid for helping.
• A school that wants clarity, not chaos.

The problem? Traditional payment systems were built for banks—not global education. They don’t handle split commissions. They don’t track offer letters. And they certainly don’t remind students to pay when they’re ghosting you.

This is where TransferMate and Qualy come in. And yes, they actually talk to each other.

How your money is save with TransferMate

Let’s start with the money itself.

TransferMate is a licensed, regulated global payments network. It’s not some random wire transfer operator. It’s built for serious institutions—like Ivy League universities, Fortune 500 companies, and government departments, processing more than USD 70B in payments annually, in 200+ countries and territories, it has 92 licenses, and accepts 141 currencies.

Here’s what it does:

• Holds student payments securely in compliance with international financial regulations
• Supports over 141 currencies so students can pay locally
• Guarantees arrival of funds—so no more “we didn’t receive it” emails
• Provides full traceability of every transaction with references, logs, and reporting
• Protects against fraud , FX manipulation, and non-compliance risks

You know that feeling when a student sends a payment but you’re not sure where it is? That stops here.

With TransferMate, the money lands safely, is held until the right trigger happens, and then gets disbursed—cleanly, automatically, and with complete oversight.

And what Qualy does on top of that? That’s where the magic happens.

Qualy doesn’t touch the money. That’s TransferMate’s job.

What Qualy does is orchestrate everything else around the money.

Think of it like a conductor—reading the Letter of Offer (LOO), extracting the tuition schedule with AI, sending the student a payment link, and automating exactly who gets paid, when, and how much.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

📄 1. AI reads your Letter of Offer so you don’t have to

You upload a PDF from the school. Qualy uses its AI engine to pull out:

• Total tuition
• Payment plan & installments
• Deposit requirements
• Due dates
• Intake details

This is converted into a payment plan automatically—no manual input, no Excel formulas.

If the school changes the LOO or adds a scholarship later? Easy update.

🧾 2. Students get a clean, simple payment link

Instead of telling the student to “go to the bank and send this much,” Qualy generates a local-language, branded payment experience.

They can pay using:

• Bank transfer
• Local methods like PayId, Pix, etc. (depending on their country and availability)
• Credit/debit card

No surprises. No wire transfer fees. Just pay, get confirmation, and go.

🔄 3. Qualy tracks everything—and releases the funds at the right time

Let’s say the school wants to pay agents only after visa approval .

Or maybe the commission is split 60/40 between a master and a sub-agent .

Or maybe the school has a cancellation clause if the student doesn’t enroll.

Qualy handles all of it. Automatically.

• You define the payout rules (automatically, manually, etc)
• TransferMate holds the funds safely until Qualy tells it what to do
• Everyone gets paid the right amount, with no manual steps

It’s like having an invisible finance assistant that never sleeps.

What this actually means for…

Let’s get specific. Here’s how it changes life for the three key players:

🎓 Schools and universities

• Fewer payment disputes : Every payment is tracked, logged, and referenced back to the student and intake.
• Faster reconciliation : Payments are matched to invoices and LOOs in real-time.
• Agent payouts handled : No more running payroll for sub-agents.
• Refunds made easier : The money is still in TransferMate’s custody until needed, so no messy reversals.
• Audit-ready data : Every movement is recorded with timestamps, reasons, and approvals.

And here’s the kicker— you don’t need to integrate it into your internal finance system to get started. It can run alongside your current process.

🌍 Education agents (and master agents, too)

• Commission clarity : No more spreadsheets. No more “hey, did you get paid?” messages. Just clean splits and automatic payouts.
• Status transparency : You’ll always know where a student is in the process—paid, unpaid, processing, overdue, etc.
• Less admin, more enrollments : The system reminds students to pay, tracks due dates, and alerts you when something’s off.
• Multi-agent logic : Whether you’re working solo or through a master agent model, Qualy understands the layers and handles commission rules accordingly.
• Instant updates : Email alerts, dashboard updates, and even WhatsApp notifications if you want them.

So instead of juggling folders and chasing invoices, agents can do what they’re best at—guiding students.

👩‍🎓 Students and families

• No more banking stress : They pay in their local currency with full visibility and support.
• Instant confirmation : The second the payment is received, the system updates their status—and lets you (school or education agent) know.
• Automated receipts and reminders : Students get nudges before deadlines, with helpful info in plain language.
• Global support : Multilingual assistance means no more “lost in translation” moments.
• No hidden fees : The FX rate is upfront, the experience is transparent.

It just feels more trustworthy—and that matters when families are wiring thousands of dollars abroad.

So who pays what?

This one’s important—and refreshingly simple.

• TransferMate doesn’t charge students any fees for bank transfers or credit card fees. The FX rate is fair and transparent.
• Qualy is free for students . They don’t pay anything to use the platform, nor they need to create complicated accounts.
• No setup fee, no minimums, no commitment . Schools or education agents pay a monthly subscription if they want Qualy to handle their collections, agent payouts, and reporting. That’s it.

If you’re an agent or a student—there’s nothing to pay. Just benefits to gain.

Under the hood: How Qualy + TransferMate work together

Let’s zoom out for a second.

The relationship between Qualy and TransferMate isn’t just “you send money here.” It’s tightly integrated—and purpose-built for global education workflows.

Here’s what happens:

1. Qualy generates a payment plan based on the Letter of Offer.
2. TransferMate handles the money securely with local payment options.
3. Qualy links the transaction to the right student, school, and agent.
4. TransferMate holds the funds safely —fully compliant, audited, and traceable.
5. Qualy triggers payout logic —once the funds are received.

All of this happens behind the scenes. You just see the money in your bank account.

Why this matters now more than ever

Let’s be real—international education is booming, but the infrastructure underneath it? Still catching up.

Agents are scaling. Schools are hiring fewer people. Families are more cautious with their money. And regulators? They’re watching everyone like hawks.

You need payments that are compliant. You need systems that automate instead of add more work. And you need trust between every party in the chain.

That’s what this integration brings.

• Regulated fund custody? Check.
• AI to eliminate human error? Check.
• Clear payouts, fewer disputes, better compliance? Absolutely.

It’s not just software. It’s the infrastructure the industry’s been waiting for.

Finally, let’s talk about automatic FX markupts

If you’re an education agent, you know that currency conversion can be a hidden profit center. Qualy can automatically apply a markup to the exchange rate, so you can earn a little extra on every payment. This is especially useful for education agents who want to earn a commission on currency conversion.

You set the markup percentage, and Qualy applies it automatically, it’s transparent to the student, and it’s all handled seamlessly by Qualy.

Still wondering if this is right for your team?

Here’s a gut-check:

• Are you tired of waiting on payment confirmations from students?
• Do agents email you asking about commissions you can’t find?
• Are refunds, scholarships, or cancellations causing headaches?
• Is your finance team still manually reconciling wire transfers?

If you nodded even once—Qualy and TransferMate can likely help.

And if you didn’t? You might be the exception. But we’d still love to show you what this makes possible.

TL;DR? Here’s the magic recipe:

• TransferMate secures the money. Fully licensed. Fully traceable. Fully global.
• Qualy automates everything around it—LOO reading, student reminders, agent payouts, refund tracking, and real-time updates.
• Schools save time , agents get paid , students get peace of mind .
