Western Union, a global leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement, today announced a collaboration with Western Union Business Solutions and Temple University Japan Campus (TUJ) that will enable students to pay tuition and expenses using a simplified payment process, helping assure funds arrive on-time and in-full, without hidden charges.

The international payment platform, WU® GlobalPay for Students, provides students the ability to review payment options in advance with a price comparison tool and to lock-in exchange rates for up to 72 hours. Students can pay in their local or preferred currency and transparently track their payment status though the online portal, mobile messages and email.

The system utilizes an application programming interface (API) to automatically input student details including student number, name, invoice ID and amount of payment, provided by Temple University to enable a seamless experience.

“We are proud to partner with Temple University, Japan Campus, to integrate an API to the GlobalPay for Students platform,” said Haruhiko Ohashi, country manager for Japan, Western Union Business Solutions. “Without software to install, the system provides a simple path for TUJ to easily manage their international payments.”

Temple University Japan Campus is the oldest and largest foreign university in Japan. Founded in Tokyo in 1982, TUJ has developed into an internationally recognized institution offering an extensive range of educational programs. In addition to its core undergraduate program, TUJ offers graduate programs in law, business, and education; an English-language preparation program; continuing education courses; and corporate education classes. TUJ will move its entire operation from its current locations in Minato-ku, scheduled from August 2019, to a newly built-in-process six-story building on Showa Women’s University’s campus in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.

“We have experienced considerable growth in the number of overseas students coming to TUJ, so this system will allow us to handle the growth easily and make it simple and cost effective for our students to pay their tuition and fees,” said Paul Raudkepp, COO/CIO for Temple University Japan Campus. “The GlobalPay API payment process will be of great benefit for TUJ and its students.”

The GlobalPay for Students platform makes it easy for students to pay international tuition and fees online in their home currency, using the payment methods they are familiar with. The platform can be co-branded to include an institution’s name/logo and can be translated into 10 different languages. GlobalPay for Students also simplifies payment tracking and reconciliation to help free up financial and administration resources for education institutions.

Western Union Business Solutions is a trusted payment provider in more than 200 countries and territories, with GlobalPay for Students being offered through more than 700 education institutions. In addition to online bank transfer and credit card payments, the platform offers users a wide range of online payment options. The platform was introduced to Japanese educational institutions in 2017 and is used at universities, Japanese language schools and professional schools across Japan.
