By GlobalDataSimplee acquisition:
Besides raising $120m, Flywire has acquired healthcare technology platform Simplee to further bolster its healthcare payments business.
With this acquisition, Flywire seeks to enable patients and healthcare service providers to settle payments faster.
Together, the two companies will process more than $10bn in patient payments annually.
Flywire CEO Mike Massaro said: “Flywire is uniquely built on a global payments network, which is the cornerstone of how we move billions of dollars across 200+ countries and 150 currencies, and an industry-leading payments platform.
“This digital foundation enables us to develop vertical-specific applications that make payments more efficient and cost-effective for our global clients.
“The Simplee acquisition improves patient engagement and healthcare affordability and extends these capabilities to a broader customer base.”
In December last year, Flywire partnered iSAMS to streamline tuition payments.
