Convert payment-constrained demand earlier — where prospects silently drop out
A meaningful share of qualified prospects never apply or enrol because they can't meet upfront payment requirements. StepEx removes payment timing friction so you can improve funnel progression without discounting.
Most providers only measure the bottom of the funnel — the loss often happens above it
When prospects see upfront fees or short payment terms, many self-select out before they ever become an application. StepEx is designed to address that early drop-off by enabling eligible learners to spread payments over time.
Turn "interested but can't pay now" into "able to enrol"
Where StepEx helps
Reduce drop-off between enquiry → application
Increase acceptance → enrolment completion when payment is the blocker
Widen access to qualified candidates who are timing-constrained, not value-constrained

Commercial controls you can set from day one
Deployment (what you control)
Providers typically control:
- •Which courses/intakes are eligible
- •Where the finance option is presented (page placement, enquiry flow, admissions comms)
- •Any caps or targeting rules
- •Internal process for handling questions and handoffs
