By aligning the payment and refund processes, this partnership will expedite and streamline operations for all stakeholders involved.

Comment from University Leaders
Louise McClure, Head of Visa and International Support at Edinburgh Napier University, states, ‘Having the ability for the right people to access payments instantly from the Enroly platform would really speed up universities’ ability to progress their students. Delays and a lack of visibility in this process slows down admissions, causes anxiety for students and leads to high volumes of student enquiries. I am interested to see how a solution like the Enroly payment integration can streamline international deposits for all involved.’
Dee de Rocha, Director of International at the University of Cumbria, adds, ‘Any solution that streamlines the process of paying deposits and fees, provides greater transparency and makes it quicker and easier for both universities and students, will really help the sector improve compliance and the student experience around payments.’
