Leap Finance, a lending division of the study-abroad platform Leap, has secured a $100 million debt facility from HSBC’s ASEAN Growth Fund. The announcement, made on March 5, 2025, is aimed at helping more Indian students pursue postgraduate education abroad.
Leap Finance has already provided over $250 million in education loans to more than 5,000 students. The company’s loan model focuses on a student’s future earning potential, offering collateral-free, USD-denominated loans that cover the full cost of international education.
The new funding will help Leap expand its services in the U.S., grow university partnerships, and strengthen its presence in India. This follows Leap’s successful $65 million Series E equity round led by Apis Partners, increasing its total funding to over $400 million since its founding in 2019.
Headquartered in Bangalore, Leap operates in ten countries, providing study-abroad counseling, visa assistance, and financial products for international students.
