About
peerTransfer was a Boston-based international student payment platform founded in 2009 by Iker Marcaide to simplify cross-border tuition payments. The platform allowed international students to pay tuition and fees to educational institutions in their local currency, reducing bank fees and improving transparency. peerTransfer grew to process over $1 billion in international education payments before rebranding as Flywire in September 2015 to reflect its expanded global footprint and broader payments mission.
