Fee payments

Pay any institution abroad, from a rupee account

Send us the invoice or the portal link. We pay the institution in its own currency, ahead of its deadline, and give you the receipt. You settle one amount in rupees.

The problem this solves

An offer arrives from a university in Manchester with a £2,000 deposit due in ten days. A SAT registration closes Friday. A SEVIS fee has to clear before the visa appointment can be booked at all.

Each is a small foreign-currency amount with a hard deadline. A local debit card declines it. A bank draft takes three weeks and a folder of paperwork. Families end up asking a cousin in London to pay it, which works until it doesn’t — and until the university asks why the payer’s name doesn’t match the applicant’s.

We pay it properly, in the applicant’s name, with a receipt that matches.

What you get back

The institution’s own receipt

Not our word for it. The confirmation the institution issues, forwarded to you the same day.

The rate, stated separately

The exchange rate applied and our service fee appear as their own lines on the invoice. Nothing is buried inside the rate.

The applicant’s name on the payment

Institutions reconcile by name and reference. A payment from an unrelated third party gets held, or bounced.

If an institution abroad has issued an invoice, a portal charge or a fee reference, we can almost certainly settle it.

How it works

Five steps. Most payments are made the same working day the funds clear with us.

  1. Send the invoice

    Attach the institution’s invoice, payment page or fee reference to the enquiry form — a screenshot is usually enough.

  2. We quote in rupees

    One figure, with the exchange rate and our service fee shown as separate lines. Valid for a stated window, because rates move.

  3. You transfer the rupees

    To our account, by bank transfer or a local channel. No foreign currency, no forms, no bank visit.

  4. We pay the institution

    In their currency, to their nominated account, in the applicant’s name with the correct reference attached.

  5. You get the receipt

    The institution’s confirmation, forwarded the same day, plus our invoice for your records.

Currencies, limits and turnaround

Turnaround is measured from cleared rupee funds, not from first contact.

Confirmation depositsUSD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUDSame working day
Tuition instalmentsUSD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD1–2 working days
Immigration chargesUSD, GBPSame working day

Service fees are quoted per payment before you transfer anything, and depend on the amount and destination. We do not take a margin inside the exchange rate.

What people ask before sending us money

Why not just use my own bank?

You can, and for a large tuition transfer it is often worth doing. Banks are slow and paperwork-heavy for small amounts on short deadlines, which is where most of these fees sit. If your bank can do it in time, we will tell you so.

How do I know the payment was actually made?

You get the institution’s own confirmation — the portal receipt, the payment reference, or the email they send. If the institution does not issue one, we tell you that before you transfer, not after.

What if the payment fails or the deadline passes?

If we cannot complete the payment, your funds are returned in full. If a deadline is genuinely too tight when you first contact us, we say so at the quote stage rather than taking the money and hoping.

Is there a minimum or maximum?

Small fees are our normal work — a $60 exam registration is worth doing. Larger tuition transfers are handled too, with additional documentation as the amount rises.

What documentation do you need?

The invoice or fee reference, the applicant’s name as the institution holds it, and identification. Larger amounts need the offer letter or enrolment confirmation as well.

Have an invoice with a deadline on it?

Send it over. We will tell you the rupee cost and whether the timing works.
