Cohort Go is focused on improving the way that international students cross borders.
The heart of what we do is around global payments, which is through the platform that allows students/families/agents to make payments through Cohort Go to institutions for their tuition and fees. This is done in a fee-free platform that incorporates significantly better foreign-exchange rates (typically the best option on the market in any given country), speed (payments delivered to institutions within 2 business days), reconciliation (robust platform and notifications to eliminate reconciliation time), currency options (approximately 75 local currencies supported allowing students to pay in their local currency avoiding extra fees and foreign exchange rates).
Cohort Go also allows for institutions to make payments internationally, whether for student refunds, agent commissions, or other international expenses using the same concept (paying in USD, therefore avoiding costly foreign exchange rates and fees) and allows for bulk payments to be done at once, thus reducing the actual number of transfers made and associated fees.
In addition to the payments portal, Cohort Go has the Agent Management Platform. This is a comprehensive cloud-based tool that allows schools to massively improve all processes related to agents. This includes around contact management (onboarding and existing agreements); contracts (creation tool); commissions (incredible capability for setting up any range of different commissions payable to agents); invoicing (automated feature); marketing (a variety of tools for working with agents); reporting (valuable dashboard and custom reports to analyze successes).
Cohort Go has ISO 27001 Certification, which is focused on data privacy and security practices, applying to both the payments as well as Agent Management Platform.
