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. For more information
