At Prodigy Finance we’ve made it our mission to make quality education more accessible. Since 2007, we have provided over $1b in loans to help over 20,000 students achieve their dreams of studying abroad. We are proud to support international students from more countries than any other current lender.
However, we are not able to fund residents from every country. As a financial institution, we are bound by regulatory frameworks which preclude us permanently from some markets. You can find a list of these below.
In addition to these, there are some markets we are temporarily unable to support due to funding restrictions. An up-to-date list of these is further down this page. We always endeavor to work with a diverse community of investors and are actively seeking new funding partners so we can support more of these markets in the near future.
