“Can a global payments and receivables platform for complex, high-value verticals (education, healthcare, B2B) become the financial operating system for institutional receivables worldwide?”
Founded in 2011 as peerTransfer, Flywire originally focused on simplifying international tuition payments for universities. The company rebranded to Flywire and expanded beyond education into healthcare and B2B verticals, building a global payment and receivables platform handling complex, high-value cross-border transactions. After its 2021 Nasdaq IPO, Flywire deepened its vertical SaaS approach by embedding financing (patient financing in healthcare) and expanding ERP integrations, positioning itself as a full receivables and payments OS for institutions.
