How to Use the Geegpay Card to Pay Your UK School Fees on Flywire

Step 1: Find Your School
Head over to pay.flywire.com and type in the name of your UK school. You can also select it from the drop-down menu if it appears there. If your school does not show up, no worries, just use the payment link from your invoice or student account.

Step 2: Enter Your Country and How Much You Want to Pay
Once your school is selected, enter the country you are paying from and the payment amount. Then click Next. You will see a list of payment options available for your location and school.

Step 3: Choose Your Payment Method

Flywire will show you how much you will pay in your local currency based on the available options. Usually, you will see:

• Standard bank transfer, which is often the cheapest, but requires you to arrange the transfer through your bank.
• Debit or credit card which lets you pay online in your home currency and lets Flywire handle the currency conversion.

Keep in mind that card payments might not be available for every country or school. If your home currency is not an option, you can choose to pay in pounds or another currency. Either way, your bank or card provider will handle the exchange before sending the funds.

Step 4: Fill in the Payer’s Information
You will need to provide the details of the person making the payment, this is usually you or the account holder for your Geegpay card. Agree to Flywire’s terms and conditions, then click Next.

Step 5: Enter Payment Details
Now, enter the required payment and contact information for your school. Click Next when you are done.

Step 6: Review Everything
Double-check all the details you have entered, including payer info and payment amount. If anything needs fixing, use the Previous button to go back. Once everything looks right, click Pay.

Step 7: Complete Your Payment
If you choose to pay with your Geegpay card, you will enter your card number, name, expiration date, and security code on this page. Be sure to finish within 15 minutes to avoid a session timeout. Then click Make Payment to complete your transaction.

Step 8: Keep Track of Your Payment
After payment, it usually takes 2-3 days for the school to receive the payment from Flywire. Once received, Flywire will send you a link by email so you can track your payment status and see when the funds reach your school.

Please note that if your school gives a payment deadline, for example, the 20th of May, paying on the 19th might not be enough because the school may only receive the money a few days later due to Flywire’s processing time. 

To avoid any problems, it’s a good idea to contact the school and let them know the payment has been initiated on Flywire, but it might take some time to reach them. This way, the school knows that even though the payment was made, it hasn’t been received yet.

Paying UK school fees from abroad does not have to be complicated or stressful. Using your Geegpay card on Flywire makes the whole process straightforward, fast, and cost-effective. You get great exchange rates, no hidden fees, and full control from your phone or computer.

So why wait? If you do not have a Geegpay card yet, getting one could be your best move to make paying school fees and other international bills a whole lot easier.
