About Meritize

This approach helps students who may not have a strong credit history secure funding for their education. Meritize makes money through interest on the loans it provides and partnerships with educational institutions and employers. The business model is designed to support the growing demand for skilled workers in industries such as manufacturing, aviation, and technical services. By offering tailored financial solutions, Meritize aims to close the skills gap and build a more competent workforce.
