We are a country of talented and brilliant minds whose potential is just waiting to be tapped into. International education offers the opportunity to hone this talent and bring it to the global forefront, but in most cases, financial hurdles hold the students back from achieving their dreams.
Enter Lorien Finance.
Ours is a cross border fintech platform that aims to make education loans more accessible, more feasible and less costly for students.
Our approach is data driven and our thinking is forward looking. While most banks and lenders look at collateral before sanctioning a loan, we evaluate the potential of each student and their future employability while taking our decisions.
Going abroad for studies is a big milestone in any student’s academic journey, and we ensure that there aren’t any financial roadblocks along the way. From providing education loans at lower interest rates to helping you open a bank account in the U.S.
We are on a mission to solve an important social problem, by empowering our students to achieve their dreams and bring their talent to the limelight.
Our team has decades of global experience in the financial services industry working as operators, advisors, risk managers & entrepreneurs.
