ICEF Podcast: Financial solutions for international students

Our podcast series continues with a special episode on financial services for international students.

Needless to say, the pandemic has had an extensive impact on the education sector. Many students have had to face delays or interruption in their study programmes, loss of part-time jobs, and restrictions on travel – all of which has created significant financial stress for the students and their families. At the same time, financial services providers have also been adapting their services to better support international students this year.

Our host this week is Martijn van de Veen, vice president of business development at ICEF, and he is joined by three distinguished industry representatives: Amit Singh, the founder and CEO of UniCreds, Tony Chen, the head of international education proposition at HSBC, and Adam Cross, director of marketing for Future Finance.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with HSBC. You can listen to it the player below, and we encourage you to subscribe via your favourite podcast app in order to receive future episodes automatically.
