When it comes to paying school fees abroad, most families think once the transfer is made, the job’s done. But what happens when reality strikes — literally?

In this episode, we unpack the hidden risks families face when sending money overseas for tuition. From sudden bank strikes and FX shortages to shifting government policies, we explore how these unseen disruptions can derail your child’s education plans and your peace of mind.

You’ll hear about:
The real-life chaos behind payment delays and blocked transfers.
Why traditional banking channels aren’t always reliable for cross-border payments.
The emotional and financial toll families endure when payments fail at the worst possible moment.
And most importantly, how platforms like Oneremit help you stay ahead — offering faster, safer, and more transparent international payments that cut through the bottlenecks.

Because while you can’t control bank strikes or policy changes, you can control how you send your money.
