Description

The British Council is seeking to conduct a market engagement with suppliers who can provide Online Payment Acceptance Services in challenging markets, primarily South-East Asia and Africa

All our commercial exam operations in all our countries face a currency mismatch - local currency revenue and GBP costs (primarily Exam Board fees).

This income is collected from customers in a range of payment journeys:
- Where the customer is paying while in an online journey
- The customer is paying cash in an office or teaching centre
- The customer pays electronically but is not in an online journey

British Council is investigating options to engage a specialist payment providers handling the British Council Online Payments across our challenging markets, primarily South-East Asia and Africa. Their service will enable the customer to pay in their local currency for any product and the British Council to receive hard currency in the UK.
