Partnership Announcement: Gateway Education

March 18, 2026

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with Gateway Education.

Gateway Education works as a trusted bridge between schools and families; supporting international student recruitment, admissions processes and ongoing parent engagement. They help schools grow confidently, manage complex family relationships, and deliver a seamless experience from first enquiry through to enrolment.

That’s where esenda comes in.

As the payment layer behind the journey, esenda ensures that when it’s time for families to pay, whether deposits, fees or additional services, the process is simple, global and fully connected.

Security Matters, Too

As Gateway Education CEO, Ryan Henderson, explains:

“We see schools being targeted by increasingly sophisticated invoice fraud. Partnering with esenda means we can ensure families’ payments are handled securely, giving schools peace of mind while improving efficiency.”

From esenda CEO, Stephen Bilboe:

“We’re excited to work with Gateway Education to bring secure payments into the heart of the school-family journey. Gateway is a valued partner for a number of schools and families, and we’re delighted to help facilitate a secure payment experience for them.”
‍

Together, we’re:

  • Creating a smoother admissions-to-payment journey
  • Offering international families familiar, flexible payment options
  • Strengthening security across the payment process

Gateway Education understands the realities schools face, from international recruitment to increasingly complex payment expectations. We’re proud to support their work by ensuring the financial side of that journey is as seamless and secure as possible.

We’re looking forward to building this partnership and supporting more schools together.
