How a Coventry training provider cut its card processing fees by around 25% after switching with NEOM, without losing the day-to-day service it relies on.
Central Building & Welding Academy is a Coventry training provider delivering vocational construction and welding courses to learners and employers. It helps people gain practical, accredited skills that lead directly into trade careers. As a provider taking course fees from individuals and businesses, having flexible, professional ways to collect and track payments is central to how it operates.
Professional and service firms take fewer, larger payments, often remotely, so flexible ways to pay and clear records matter more than speed at a till.
On Barclaycard, the academy wanted payment links so it could invoice and collect course fees remotely rather than relying on learners paying in person. It also needed clearer reporting to keep on top of enrolments and income, and quicker settlement to support its cash flow. Managing payments around enrolment periods needed to be simpler and less manual than it was.
What mattered most. 7-day settlement, user-friendly reporting and pay by link, backed by local support that is easy to reach around the clock.
NEOM set them up on Teya with pay-by-link, so course fees can be requested and paid online in a couple of clicks, alongside user-friendly reporting that makes reconciling enrolments straightforward. Faster, 7-day settlement keeps funds moving in line with intake periods. The move also reduced their card processing costs by around 25%, with local 24/7 support whenever they need it.
A setup matched to how the business trades, with support that is easy to reach when it matters.
