Flywire Named to CNBC's World's Top FinTech Companies of 2026

Flywire Corporation (Nasdaq: FLYW), a global payments enablement and software company, today announced its inclusion on CNBC's World's Top FinTech Companies of 2026 in the Payments category.

The annual CNBC World's Top FinTech Companies list identifies the top 500 fintech companies across eight market segments, including Payments, Neobanking, Alternative Financing, Wealth Technology, Digital Assets, Enterprise Fintech, Insurtech, and Regtech. Companies are evaluated using a rigorous, data-driven methodology developed by CNBC in partnership with Statista, based on an aggregated scoring model that weighs overarching and segment-specific key performance indicators.

Flywire combines a global payment platform, vertical-specific software and a powerful global payments network that operates at scale across more than 240 countries and territories, supports 140+ currencies, and spans 6,000 geographic corridors - moving billions in transactions annually. The company serves more than 5,100 clients who rely on Flywire to process complex, high-value transactions that would otherwise require manual intervention and carry hidden conversion costs.

Flywire delivers tangible ROI to its clients across education, travel, healthcare and b2b industries by solving complexity that generic payment processors or point solutions cannot address. In education alone, one US institution reduced its payment plan default rate from 34% to less than 2% after implementing Flywire's Student Financial Software - a dramatic shift that preserved student enrollment and institutional revenue. One UK institution achieved 92% payment plan completion rates through Flywire's integrated platform, while realizing six-figure merchant fee savings by consolidating global payments and gaining real-time transparency across all student transaction data. These results demonstrate that Flywire doesn't just process payments - it becomes critical infrastructure, deeply embedded in operations that depend on its ability to solve the most complex payment challenges.

"We are honored to receive this recognition, which validates our core belief that solving complexity is a key competitive advantage for us," said Mike Massaro, CEO of Flywire. "We go where others are unwilling or unable to go - and once we are embedded in the workflow, we become indispensable. Education institutions, healthcare providers, travel platforms, and B2B enterprises trust us to handle the hardest problems: multi-currency settlements, reconciliation at scale, diverse payer ecosystems, and regulatory complexity."

This recognition follows other recent accolades for Flywire, underscoring both the business impact and the strength of Flywire's culture, including:

• TIME's Most Impactful Companies of the World
• Best Company to Work for by US News and World Report.
