Our take
Flywire is a digital platform that simplifies the paying experience for international transactions. Flywire leverages its vertical-specific software and payments technology to deeply embed within client's existing accounts-receivable workflows.
Flywire was first set up to help international students pay their tuition for American colleges, but has since grown into a global payments enablement and software company. It has processed billions of dollars in payments for clients across the world and recently secured approval for its major payment institution license, enabling it to operate domestic money transfer and cross-border money transfer services.
Flywire serves clients across education, healthcare, travel, and B2B, including several Ivy League schools, and top US hospital systems. The company appears to be focussed on growth, including by strategic acquisitions and entry into new markets, recently in the Asia Pacific and Australia, as well as further developing its channel partners ecosystem.

We seek to understand and embrace everyone’s uniqueness, and leverage the power of our FlyMates and customers’ cultural differences and perspectives to create magic.

- Fulfillment. We recognize that fulfillment comes from personal and professional satisfaction, from bringing our whole selves to work. It is understanding what ignites our individual passions and gets us excited, while being inclusive and knowing that this is different for everyone. We believe that by engaging with the wider community, giving back and contributing, our greater purpose is fulfilled.
- Execution. We take calculated risks and make smart decisions quickly to accomplish our objectives. We are helpful and supportive of each other, yet we hold each other accountable to delivering with a sense of urgency in all that we do.
- Ambitious Innovation. We continuously look for ways to deliver more and new value to our customers, partners and people. We are leaders not followers, curious and open-minded, we recognize there is always room for improvement and strive for excellence and welcome new ideas.
- Evolved Learning. The importance of actively listening, questioning, challenging, and accepting isn’t lost on us. We are a learning organization, eager to expand as individuals, as teams and as a company. We live by the knowledge that there is no endpoint to learning, that there is always room for growth.
