Pay4Me App: The Payment Platform Helping International Students Make Cross-border Payments

By Partner May 08, 2023

Amongst many challenges, Nigerians face when pursuing academic excellence abroad, making cross-border payments is top of the list. According to ICEF Monitor, many parents struggle to get visas and pay tuition fees for their wards abroad because of limited forex availability.

While the processing of tuition fees is stipulated to last 24 hours in Nigerian banks, most banks take more than six weeks to sort payments.

This and other payment hurdles were the problems Sunday “Paul” Adah, CEO of Pay4Me, identified and launched the payment solution two years ago.

In his words: “Pay4Me was born out of the need to make the study abroad dream a reality for Africans. It’s a one-stop solution for students and families looking to make payments from Nigeria to universities abroad.”

“On the Pay4Me App, students can pay tuition, WES, SEVIS, application, visa, and other fees in less than 10mins. Plus, we process these transactions at extremely competitive rates, saving parents and students tons of money they would otherwise spend on the black market.”

When asked how the payment platform makes the “study abroad dream” a reality for Africans, the CTO, and co-founder, Stephen Jude, said, “At Pay4Me, we understand the biggest challenge to studying abroad is Forex unavailability. And in response, we built a cutting-edge solution.”

“We built the Pay4Me App to provide fast payment services to international students so they can promptly beat deadlines and further their education abroad. Students usually lose their admissions because of payment delays by traditional banks. However, with the Pay4Me App, they can meet deadlines. Once they initiate a transaction on the app, we process it in less than 10mins, and by extension, help them secure their admissions.”

Speaking on the app’s functionality, Moshood Adekola, COO and co-founder of the company, reveals that not only can students make payments abroad using the app, but they can also receive allowances from their parents and sponsors in Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. In addition, they can access funding opportunities and financial aid to make their study abroad a walk in the park.

Pay4Me has made notable progress since its inception. The payment platform has processed over 4000 transactions for students abroad and signed up more than 15,000 users across Africa. And presently, they’re on a mission to completely eliminate payment limitations associated with studying abroad for international students across the globe.
