High merchant fees on large tuition and fee payments cost universities millions annually. Universities operate on thin margins, and are frequently forced to pass these expenses to students, subsidize them from operating budgets, or restrict certain payment types to control costs which can have a negative effect on the student experience.

In this session, London School of Economics (LSE) reveals how it saved £5.1M in payment costs over three years.

Built for finance and bursar leaders, this webinar will cover:

• Where payment costs typically hide in university operations
• How to benchmark and optimize merchant fees
• The benefits of alternative payment models and direct acquiring

Attendees will gain actionable insights to improve margins and reinvest savings into core institutional priorities.
