    Frequently asked questions

    How Is Instarem More Cost-Efficient for International Student Fee Payments As Compared To Other Platforms Or Agencies?

    We help parents and students save on overseas education payments by eliminating the additional fees that are charged by banks and other financial institutions in the name of forex fees, transfer costs and exchange rates. With Instarem, there are no hidden charges and low cost. Hence, you save more on overseas fee payments and other education expenses. Here are a few important things that no one tells you about overseas money transfers for education:

    a) You can negotiate the conversion rate offered to you by service providers. They generally add 1-2% margin on the rate they quote to you. Clubbed with hidden fees and other charges, students/parents end up paying 2-3% more on overseas money transfers via such service providers.
