Overview

MPOWER Financing specializes in originating fixed-rate student loans for international graduate students, with a focus on STEM, business and health programs at leading U.S. and Canadian institutions.

The company partners with more than 500 universities and has served students from over 200 countries, 93 percent of whom say the financing was essential to completing their degrees. To scale its rapidly growing loan book, MPOWER has embraced the capital markets, securitizing more than $600 million of assets to date. Management plans to run a series of programmatic private financings alongside its existing public ABS program to diversify funding sources and widen investor access.
