Easier payments for International Students

Easier payments for International Students

At Purple Frog, we know that our international students often get caught out by annoying transfer fees when putting down an admin fee to reserve a property, or paying your retainer, after signing your contract.

We don’t think that’s fair. That’s why we’ve teamed up with a company called PaytoStudy. If you are an international student and don’t yet have a UK-based bank account, they offer an easy and secure way to help you pay your retainer and admin fees, without wasting precious funds on additional fees or charges.

You can now use PaytoStudy directly from our website to make international payments. It is the most affordable way to make an international payment to us. It is an easy and secure, as well being the most cost-effective way to make payments to us from an International account.

Where PaytoStudy has a local bank account, you will not be subject to any international wire fees and will be able to pay in your local currency.

By using the payment portal on the site, you will not have to pay wire fee charges. Your international payment will be free of charge and you will receive preferential foreign exchange rates.
