Voss Capital Flags Flywire’s 6x 2027 EBITDA Valuation Versus $8B Peer

FLYWFLYW

Voss Capital highlighted Flywire as its largest holding, citing its global payments moat and 80% processing-fee revenue across healthcare, education and travel. Despite a $1.1 billion enterprise value, Flywire trades at just a 6x multiple on 2027 EBITDA versus an $8 billion valuation for peer Airwallex.

1. Voss Capital Highlights Flywire’s Strategic Position

Voss Capital’s Q4 2025 investor letter designated Flywire as its largest position, emphasizing the company’s deep integration in high-value payment verticals like healthcare, education and travel. The letter underscores Flywire’s formidable moat built through localized banking relationships and payment rails in almost every country.

2. Revenue Mix and Switching Costs

Over 80% of Flywire’s revenue comes from processing fees—foreign exchange spreads and cross-border fees—underscoring its reliance on transactional income rather than subscription software. The entrenched nature of its payment workflows in hospital billing systems and university ERPs creates high switching costs exceeding $100 million and five years to replicate.

3. Valuation Disconnect Compared to Peers

Despite a $1.1 billion enterprise value, Flywire trades at a 6x multiple on 2027 consensus EBITDA estimates, significantly lower than competitors and mid-to-high-teens multiples seen in similar high-growth firms. By contrast, private competitor Airwallex recently secured funds at an $8 billion valuation, highlighting Flywire’s apparent undervaluation.
