University Living and EasyTransfer Announce Partnership to Simplify International Student Payments

University Living, a global student housing managed marketplace, and EasyTransfer, a fintech company specializing in cross-border payment solutions, have formed a strategic partnership to streamline the accommodation rental payment process for international students. This collaboration aims to simplify and secure payment transactions for students from regions such as India, China, Southeast Asia, the US, the UK, and Europe, who are pursuing education in countries like the UK, the US, Australia, Europe, Canada, and beyond.

Mayank Maheshwari, COO of University Living, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: "We are excited to announce our partnership with EasyTransfer, which will revolutionize overseas payments for University Living users. With EasyTransfer's efficient solutions, our students can now seamlessly and quickly make international transfers, eliminating the traditional hassles of documentation. This collaboration ensures that our India-based users can access competitive rates and enjoy a smoother remittance experience. This will significantly benefit students and their families by making the process hassle-free, more convenient, and efficient."

Previously, international students faced delays of several days when finalizing payments for foreign accommodations due to inefficient payment methods. EasyTransfer's cutting-edge UK virtual card technology addresses these challenges, enabling students to swiftly secure their preferred accommodation. The integration of EasyTransfer into the University Living platform through an API will expedite and simplify the complex payment process for international students.

Sahil Suri, India Country Manager at EasyTransfer, highlighted the importance of this collaboration: "EasyTransfer ventured into the Indian market, realizing that there was a huge void between students and universities to pay and receive tuition payments from India. We bridged that gap by not only providing excellent one-to-one customer service for each one of our students but also by providing them with some of the best exchange rates available in the market. We plan to offer our cutting-edge fintech solutions to the student community in India and provide world-class services to our students, partners, and universities alike."

University Living and EasyTransfer will leverage their strengths to cooperate in Asian countries and regions. This partnership enhances the overall student experience by improving accessibility, user-friendliness, and retention of the integrated solutions offered. Together, they are committed to enhancing the international student journey, providing an efficient solution that elevates students' experiences in securing accommodations and managing payments globally.
