Insights
Flywire's expanded integration with Ellucian's Ethos platform represents a significant enhancement to their strategic partnership that could drive meaningful business growth. This technical advancement allows Flywire to implement their payment solutions more efficiently across Ellucian's extensive network of 2,900+ higher education institutions globally.
The deployment of these integrations at George Mason University and Oxford Brookes University provides concrete evidence of real-world implementation and customer validation. George Mason's implementation of Flywire's Collection Management solution via Ethos integration creates a more streamlined experience by leveraging single sign-on access within the familiar Banner interface, while Oxford Brookes becomes the first UK institution to implement Flywire's international payments solution through Ethos.
What makes this particularly valuable is how it addresses critical pain points in higher education payment processing: the integration reduces implementation complexity, automates reconciliation processes, and enhances user experience for both students and administrative staff. By embedding directly into existing Ellucian workflows, Flywire eliminates significant IT investment barriers that might otherwise slow adoption.
The ability to offer payments in 140+ currencies across 240+ countries through this integration positions Flywire to capture greater transaction volume from international students—a high-margin segment for the company. This deployment pathway potentially accelerates Flywire's penetration across Ellucian's substantial customer base while strengthening their competitive moat through deeper technical integration.
Flywire builds on award-winning partnership with Ellucian to deploy solutions at U.S., U.K. and other global institutions with integrations via Ellucian Ethos
BOSTON and ORLANDO, Fla., April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, at the Ellucian Live conference, Flywire Corporation (Nasdaq: FLYW) (Flywire), a global payments enablement and software company, announced newly deployed integrations with Ellucian, a leading provider of software and services built to power higher education. Flywire’s new integration pathway with Ellucian Ethos, Ellucian’s API layer, enables institutions to accelerate their implementations of Flywire’s solutions, and ensures Flywire can be implemented on any Ellucian instance, including Banner and Colleague SaaS. These new achievements build off of Flywire and Ellucian’s award-winning integrations that enhance the student experience, while reducing complexity for institutions.
George Mason University in the United States leveraged Flywire’s Ellucian Ethos integration to successfully deploy Flywire Collection Management software, allowing, among other things, single sign-on access for students directly from their familiar Banner interface. Additionally, Oxford Brookes University will be the first institution to go live with Flywire’s Ellucian Ethos integration for international payments, making Flywire the first Ethos integration in the United Kingdom.
Flywire successfully deploys Banner integration via Ellucian Ethos at George Mason University
George Mason University, a longtime client using Flywire for cross-border tuition payments, leveraged Flywire’s Student Financial Software (SFS) integration via Ellucian Ethos to implement Flywire’s Collection Management solution. This automates the past-due collection process, providing proactive visibility and alerts to prompt student engagement, offering flexible payment plans, and accelerating collection timelines and cash flow. With the Flywire SFS/Ellucian integration, past-due accounts are loaded seamlessly, communications are automated, and students are always able to see their accurate balance, saving significant time and resources for administrative staff. Additionally, for staff, they can manage all workflows related to the student financial journey from their familiar Banner or Colleague platform.
“As a result of the Flywire SFS integration with Ellucian Banner, our students have secure, single sign-on access to our collection management application,” said Bill Cunningham, Director of Student Accounts at George Mason University. “This makes it easier for them to view their past-due balance and take action before it becomes a collection issue. This also reduces the workload for our internal collections team. The project was also one of the smoothest we’ve seen.”
Oxford Brookes University in the U.K. leverages Flywire’s payments integration with Ellucian Ethos & EPS
One of Ellucian's earliest adopters to integrate a payment solution via Ellucian Ethos & EPS, Oxford Brookes University in the U.K., is leveraging the integration between Flywire and Ellucian Banner to offer a streamlined payment experience with hundreds of payment choices to their students and families directly within their Banner instance, without significant IT investment. Additionally, Flywire helps their students and families easily make and track payments in native currencies, and they get the benefit of seeing and accessing all payment information within their familiar Banner workflow.
“Embedding Flywire’s payment solution into our student information system makes it a natural part of the workflow – for both students and our finance team,” said a representative from Oxford Brookes. “Regardless of where they are in the world, students can easily and securely view charges and make payments. At the same time, reconciliation is fully automated and our systems are updated in real time. That kind of tight integration will drive huge efficiencies for our finance team.”

“Our ability to embed intuitive payment capabilities directly into Ellucian’s existing workflows enables schools to optimize the student financial experience, expand payment options, and streamline their backend financial processes,” said David King, Chief Technology Officer at Flywire. “And as one of the first partners to integrate a payment solution via Ellucian Ethos and EPS, Flywire is committed to building off a longstanding relationship to continue to drive technical innovation for global institutions.”
Zach Tussing, Director of Partnerships, Ellucian, added: “The Flywire and Ellucian teams have been working closely together to deliver an improved integration and an innovative customer experience.
