Cape Town, South Africa Prodigy Finance Limited Full time

**Prodigy Finance - who we are**

Prodigy Finance is a platform that delivers socially responsible financial services; making it possible for students from more than 130 countries to fulfill their dream of studying at the world’s top universities and schools by financing their international postgraduate studies. Our purpose is to democratise access to lifechanging education, whilst delivering competitive financial and social returns to alumni, institutional and private investors.

Our borderless and innovative model enables education loan financing to students from across the globe, whilst using predicted post-degree affordability rather than present-day salary in assessing creditworthiness. Since 2007, Prodigy Finance has extended over US$1 billion through the platform to fund over 25,000 students.

We are funded by some of the most highly regarded and pre-eminent financial institutions in the world, including Index Ventures, Balderton Capital, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and more recently the US DFC and CPPIB.
