PeerTransfer, a startup that facilitates international tuition payments, announced a partnership with Tuition Management Systems, an organization that helps students manage college costs. 

“Through the partnership, families will be given additional flexibility and be able to make tuition and other education related payments, typically in the currency of their home country.”

The peerTransfer platform will be available to Tuition Management Systems’s network of over 700 schools across the nation. Students of these schools will benefit from lower fees and favorable exchange rates, saving up to $1,500 on a $40,000 tuition payment
