International tuition & school fees · UAE
Pay tuition abroad, at the real rate.
Paying university tuition or school fees overseas from the UAE means converting large sums — and that is exactly where a hidden exchange margin costs the most. Vault Money settles fee payments in the institution’s currency at transparent, near-interbank rates.
Big payments are where the margin bites hardest
A term’s university tuition or a year of international school fees can run to tens of thousands in a foreign currency. Because banks and remittance houses charge their exchange margin as a percentage of the amount, the larger the fee, the more that hidden 2 to 3% costs you — often far more than any visible transfer fee. On a single tuition payment that can be thousands of dirhams that never needed to leave your account.
Vault Money settles fee payments in the institution’s currency — pounds, dollars, euros, Canadian and Australian dollars and more — at the live mid-market rate with our margin shown, typically around 0.4%. You send exactly what the institution invoices, with clean records and one named contact through the whole process.

Frequently asked questions
Which countries and currencies can you pay fees in?
All the major study destinations — the UK (GBP), US (USD), Canada (CAD), Australia (AUD), Europe (EUR) and more. Funds settle directly into the institution’s account in its own currency through our regulated partners.
Why do large fee payments save more than small transfers?
Because the exchange margin is charged as a percentage of the amount. A hidden 2–3% on a large tuition bill is a far bigger absolute cost than on a small transfer, so moving to a ~0.4% transparent margin saves the most on exactly these payments.
Can I set up recurring termly payments?
Yes. Your relationship manager can set up each term’s payment so you are not starting from scratch every time, with the rate shown transparently on each one.
Is Vault Money regulated?
Vault Money operates through registered entities in the UAE (Meydan Free Zone), the US (FinCEN MSB) and Canada (FINTRAC MSB, Bank of Canada RPAA), and settles through independently licensed partners. It does not itself hold a banking licence or take title to client funds.
