FLYW

Flywire Corporation

A global payments company that helps schools, hospitals, travel companies, and businesses get paid from abroad, handling cross-border tuition and invoice payments across hundreds of countries and currencies. It was founded in 2009 by Spanish MIT student Iker Marcaide, who created it as peerTransfer after struggling with the high fees and hidden costs of paying international tuition. The name became Flywire in 2015, a nod to the speed and reach of a wire transfer in flight.
