Intuipay

Transform how education gets funded. Pay international tuition and donate to academic institutions and research initiatives cheaper, faster, and smarter, powered by stablecoins.

*Note that the "Swap" feature, powered by LIFI / Circle CCTP, requires connecting to the MetaMask wallet to enable
**This repo has essential code related to the MetaMask x Circle hackathon but does not include other repos of features that store more sensitive data about our clients, especially around the dashboard, onboarding, project creation, and other core features. The Intuipay team can share the repo privately upon request (please contact founder@intuipay.xyz).

Product Vision:

To become the global standard for education payments by leveraging crypto’s speed and cost efficiency, while abstracting its complexity for mainstream users.


Overview

Intuipay transforms education financing through blockchain technology, offering a "crypto-invisible" alternative to traditional payment systems like SWIFT, Flywire, and Western Union. While global remittance has undergone a revolution, education financing has remained stagnant in the analog era—until now.

The Problem

  • High Fees: Traditional education payments carry hefty fees (5.2-8.8% on average)

  • Slow Processing: 3-7 business days for settlement

  • Limited Access: Restricted business hours and geographic limitations

  • Complex Processes: Multiple intermediaries and complicated workflows

Our Solution

Crypto-invisible infrastructure with stablecoins under the hood, enabling:

  • Instant settlement (24/7 availability)

  • Significantly lower fees (~2-3% in total, no hidden fees)

  • Global accessibility across multiple corridors

  • Familiar experience for non-crypto users (pay in fiat, receive in fiat)
