The Prodigy Finance Story
Prodigy Finance is founded on the philosophy that funding shouldn't be a barrier to education.
In 2007, three MBA students recognised that traditional banks don't serve the needs of international students: requiring collateral, co-signers, guarantors or documentation that students simply don't have. They made it their mission to make quality education accessible, using fintech to redefine the student loan market.
Our innovative and borderless model assesses you on your potential, among other variables, not just your current circumstances and credit history.
We work with alumni, impact investors, and other private qualified entities who invest in tomorrow's leaders whilst earning a financial and social return.
