OVERVIEW

In 2001, WPM developed an online card payment solution for the University of Birmingham which enabled students' tuition and accommodation fees to be paid via the internet.

Following further innovation and development, WPM launched further online payment services and an Online Store which allowed customers to purchase services and products directly from the university or college via the internet.

WPM Education works with its current clients on a regular basis to improve service offerings, and evolve the WPM Education suite in line with the education sector. WPM Education regularly hosts free to attend conferences and events where key decision makers in the Higher and Further Education industry can network and investigate how they can improve their finance processes and utilise their current systems.

As a thought leader in the e-payment industry, WPM Education has evolved its offering alongside the needs of the Higher and Further Education sector.
