Flywire acquires StudyLink, terms undisclosed

Flywire announced that it has acquired StudyLink, an provider of international student admissions, application and agent management software serving universities throughout Australia. Flywire intends to expand upon StudyLink’s existing and successful track record of providing top-tier solutions in Australia, where Flywire estimates that there are more than 600,000 higher education international students, with 75% of them being placed through education agents. The combination of StudyLink’s application and enrollment platform with Flywire’s software and payments technology is expected to capture and streamline the entire student payment journey, from admissions through to deposit and tuition payments, as well as strategic payables like agent commissions. In connection with the acquisition, Flywire will also expand its existing relationship with Navitas, the previous majority owners of StudyLink, as a payments partner for Navitas’s campuses and colleges worldwide.
