EduFi, a pioneering player in the education financing sector, marked a significant milestone on January 30, 2024, as it formally entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IVY College of Management Sciences. The MoU signing ceremony, held at the prestigious IVY College campus, brought together key stakeholders from both organizations, signifying a strategic alliance aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for students across Pakistan.

On the IVY College side, the prominent participants included Neha Mudasir, Executive Director, Airej Khan, Director of Operations, and Chief Operating Officer Muhammad Furqan.

IVY College of Management Sciences, known for its commitment to providing quality education, boasts a student community exceeding 7000 across its four campuses in Pakistan. The MoU signed between EduFi and IVY College is poised to have a transformative impact on the lives of these students by facilitating access to EduFi’s innovative Study Now, Pay Later facility.
