“Flywire’s solutions solve all sides of the payment equation,” said Sharon Butler, EVP of Education, Flywire. “For students and families, we ensure that they make payments in their preferred method, using the technology they leverage in their everyday lives, and on a payment schedule that makes it more affordable. For institutions, we help streamline the complexities of reconciliation, and let administrators do more with less.”
Butler continued: “We are thrilled to receive this 2021 EdTech Breakthrough Award in recognition of our success in improving this user experience and ultimately, driving education affordability forward for students around the world.”
