Better Health for All

-10

Flywire's core products and services, as a payment enablement and software company, have no direct positive or negative health impact. The company's revenue is not derived from products with direct health harms. Flywire aims to improve healthcare affordability by offering payment plans up to 60 months, with 81% of US adults wanting to pay medical expenses over time, and 74% more likely to pay with longer terms (24 months instead of 6-9 months).

1
However, the company does not provide specific pricing data relative to production cost or the percentage of those in need reached by access programs. Flywire's solutions are designed to improve access to healthcare for all patients, including those with financial limitations, and 84% of respondents with children want installment payments.
2
However, there is no quantitative data on the percentage of vulnerable populations reached. Patient surveys indicate that 75% of respondents find medical bills too complicated, and 95% agree there needs to be a better way to simplify them.
3
Flywire's partnership with Atlas Health facilitates access to philanthropic medical financial aid, but no specific funding or impact metrics are provided.
4
Flywire's platform improves staff experience by providing better patient financial information, saving 25,500 staff hours in 12 months for one client.
5
However, there is no evidence of initiatives to strengthen the healthcare workforce capacity. Patient surveys reveal that 67% are concerned about possible data breaches with healthcare providers, and 31% of respondents reported notification of a healthcare data breach.
6
Flywire was named to the PCI Security Standards Council 2025-2027 Board of Advisors.
7
The company does not engage in preventative health measures, mental health initiatives, or hold healthcare-related patents.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

-10

Flywire Corporation is a payments enablement and software company, not a direct lender or deposit service provider to consumers. Therefore, several KPIs related to lending, such as `underserved_client_share`, `data_accessibility`, `wealth_building_outcome`, `profit_reinvestment`, and `financial_literacy_initiatives`, are not applicable due to the absence of direct consumer credit products or loan/insurance books. The company's core business lies outside these areas. For `pricing_fairness`, Flywire states its Campus Social Responsibility Program ensures no additional fees or rebates are added to payments, and it offers transparent payment processes.

1
However, as it does not offer consumer credit products, there are no APRs or fee structures to evaluate in the context of lending, resulting in a score of 0. Similarly, for `exploitative_fee_exposure`, Flywire's Affordability Suite offers interest-free payment plans through providers, meaning no revenue is derived from high-cost financial products or penalty fees, leading to a score of 0.
2
For `inclusion_initiatives`, while Flywire has a Charitable Foundation and an awards program for international students, these are not part of a loan/insurance book, making the KPI not applicable (score 0).
3
For `fair_lending_compliance`, Flywire adheres to KYC, AML, and SARs, and complies with various data privacy and security regulations (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, PCI DSS).
4
However, as it is not a lender, there is no fair-lending history or specific regulatory findings related to discriminatory lending to evaluate, resulting in a score of 0. For `debt_burden_ratio`, Flywire does not provide debt products to consumers, making this KPI not applicable (score 0). For `geographic_inclusion`, Flywire operates across more than 240 countries and territories, supporting payments in over 140 currencies.
5
However, the company does not operate financial service access points (like branches) in banking deserts or underserved regions, making the KPI not applicable (score 0). For `product_simplicity`, 90% of payments are made without staff assistance, and 80% of patients rate Flywire 4 stars or above.
6
This indicates a level of product usability, but the rubric specifically measures complexity against readability standards. While the high self-service rate and positive patient ratings suggest ease of use, there is no explicit evidence of products requiring middle school level reading (grade 8-9) or specific simplification projects, which would map to a -50 tier.
