Leading Edtech startup Univad has partnered with payment giants paystack to enable prospective students to pay for tuition from across Africa without a hitch.
The budding E-learning and Edtech startup will launch its new payment program, which enables students to complete their payments directly on the Univad platform using widely accepted debit and credit cards.
” As our community continues to grow, we are now able to accept tuition payments from international students outside Nigeria. This means learners from countries like Ghana, Liberia, and other parts of the continent can now easily secure their place in our diploma and short course programs”.Univad wrote on its website.
The new payment program, in partnership with Paystack, will power cross-border payments with Verve, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, expanding the options available to its prospective students.
The new payment program provides a seamless and direct link to Univad’s diploma and Short courses from anywhere in the world. Univad, which at the moment remains a continental affair, is building a database of students from Ghana, Nigeria, Liberia, South Africa, and other parts of the continent.
The Edtech startup explained on its website that its priority remains removing barriers to learning so its students can focus on what really matters, which remains the acquisition of knowledge.
“Our platform is designed to equip learners with practical skills that open doors to global career opportunities, regardless of location,” it stated.
Univad, founded in 2024 by Mike Ikenwa, is a bootstrapped venture with no public records of fundraising so far. It launched its online learning platform in September 2022, with its public website going live.
Since its launch, significant developments in the company include diploma programs, the UnivadGo mobile app, and the Campus Ambassadors Programme across Nigeria and other African countries.
