Passion, excitement & global collaboration are all core to what it means to be a FlyMate.

Who we are:
Flywire was founded in 2011 by a former international student, who experienced firsthand all the challenges of paying for college from another country—and made it his mission to solve them.
Today, Flywire has applied our next-gen payments platform combined with our proprietary global payments network and vertical software to expand and digitize the payment experience for over 2,250 education, healthcare, travel & B2B clients world-wide, processing more than $7B annually and covering more than 240 countries and territories globally. And, we’re just getting started!
With over 450 FlyMates distributed across 12 offices world-wide and representing more than 40 nationalities, we’re looking for FlyMates to join the next stage of our journey as we continue to grow.
