EduFi

EduFi is a Singapore-based financial technology company that provides a "Study Now, Pay Later" student loan platform designed to help families manage tuition and school fees without large upfront payments. The digital-first lending solution primarily targets the private education sector in Pakistan, utilizing local economic data to underwrite and process consumer education financing. The enterprise has raised $6.1 million in pre-seed funding to support its initial market launch and scale its proprietary credit scoring infrastructure, with the investment round led by Zayn VC. To facilitate its lending operations, the company integrates directly with educational institutions, securing formal partnership agreements with organizations such as Ziauddin University, Sceptre College, and Lahore Garrison University. The platform's board of directors includes industry executives like Techlogix chief executive Salman Akhtar to guide its expansion strategy. EduFi was founded in 2021 by Aleena Nadeem.
