Pioneering Higher Education Technology Firm Stellic Named 2026 Student Success Platform of the Year

Published

on

Award-winning platform is now helping more than 1 million students navigate complex academic journeys, make informed decisions, and chart clearer pathways to graduation and career success

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellic—the developer of the popular academic planning and degree management platform that now serves more than 1 million students across more than 100 colleges and universities—today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Student Success Platform of the Year” award by EdTech Breakthrough. The award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns from K-12 and higher education to corporate L&D and lifelong learning.

“Every student makes hundreds of decisions on the way to a degree, and most of them are harder than they should be,” said Sabih Bin Wasi, co-founder and CEO of Stellic. “The information exists, it’s just not connected in a way students, or staff, can actually use. That’s the problem our team and our partners show up to work on every day. This recognition reflects the real demand for that kind of clarity in higher education, and our dedication to delivering it.”

At a time when more than 40 million Americans have some college but no credential, and student pathways increasingly span multiple institutions, transfer credits, and learning experiences, navigating higher education has become more complex than ever. Students are often asked to make high-stakes academic decisions with information scattered across disconnected systems, creating barriers that can delay progress and derail completion.

Stellic brings critical information together in a student-facing platform that helps learners understand degree requirements, track progress, evaluate transfer credits, identify the right courses and connect with support before small obstacles become significant barriers to completion. The platform helps students make the hundreds of decisions that shape their college experience with greater confidence by providing a clear view of their progress, options, and opportunities, while giving institutions the insights needed to remove barriers and improve outcomes. Stellic’s suite of tools includes Progress for degree management, Care for proactive advising, and Explore for transfer credit evaluation.

Stellic is redefining academic planning and degree management by helping institutions connect the data, decisions, and support systems that shape a student’s path from enrollment through graduation. Colleges and universities are seeing measurable results using the platform.

At Santa Monica College, the platform helped identify more than 5,400 previously unrecognized degrees and certificates, expanding recognition of student achievement. At Carnegie Mellon University, approximately 80% of students use Stellic to navigate degree requirements and academic planning. At Texas Christian University, 90% student adoption has supported more than 40,000 academic planning actions and 23,000 advising appointments, helping create a more connected and proactive advising experience.

Over the past year, more than 14 million interactions moved through the Stellic platform, including 11.5 million student sessions and 2.5 million faculty and staff sessions. Those interactions represent students mapping degree pathways, evaluating transfer credits, selecting courses, tracking progress toward graduation, and making the everyday decisions that determine whether they stay on track.

The recognition caps a year of continued growth and momentum for Stellic. Today, more than 100 colleges and universities—including community colleges, public and private institutions, and leading research universities—rely on Stellic’s platform to help students make informed decisions, navigate degree requirements, and stay on track to completion.

EdTech Breakthrough’s competitive selection process, evaluated by a panel of industry experts, assesses entries across six core criteria—innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, value, and impact. This year’s award program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries, with thousands of entries evaluated across categories spanning the full learner lifecycle—from student engagement and classroom management to workforce development, corporate learning, and postsecondary student success.

More than 60% of Pix Automático users are brand-new subscribers to digital platforms, EBANX data shows

Published

on

By

One year after its launch, Pix Automático has become a key solution for recurring payments in Brazil, with EBANX accounting for 38% of all transactions made through the feature

CURITIBA, Brazil, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ahead of its first anniversary on June 16, Pix Automático—the recurring billing feature of Pix, Brazil’s widely popular instant payment system—has become a key driver of new customer acquisition for global companies with subscription business models operating in the country. New operational data from EBANX, a global technology company specializing in payment services for emerging markets, reveal that 64% of consumers paying with Pix Automático are new users within these digital platforms. For the 60 million Brazilians who lack access to credit cards, according to the country’s Central Bank, the feature is unlocking access to the global digital economy.

EBANX has supported Pix Automático since the feature’s launch. Amazon Prime, with more than 200 million paid members worldwide, is one of the merchants offering the solution in Brazil through EBANX. Prime members in the country can enjoy fast, free shipping, exclusive deals, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and other services, and are able to subscribe using a variety of methods, including Pix Automático, credit and debit cards, ensuring accessibility regardless of their preferred payment option.

Canva, Hotmart, and Nord Security are also among the merchants offering Pix Automático through EBANX. In addition, payment infrastructure providers such as Stripe, Spreedly, and Zuora have partnered with EBANX to enable more international companies to seamlessly access Brazil’s recurring billing market via the Pix feature.

EBANX’s operational data from the first year of Pix Automático reinforces the feature’s strong growth trajectory. Active enrollments grew at an average monthly rate of 177% since June 2025, while transaction total value grew by 53% per month and the number of transactions 161%. EBANX currently processes 38% of all Pix Automático transactions in Brazil.

“One year in, Pix Automático has already delivered one of its most important projections: bringing new consumers into the digital subscription economy,” said Eduardo de Abreu, CPO of EBANX and CEO of EBANX Singapore. “The 64% new-user rate reflects a population that was always willing to subscribe, but never had the right tool to do so,” he added.

The arrival of this new consumer base also brings new payment habits to subscription-based businesses. “We are talking about new users, who might bring new behaviors, and demand new approaches. These differences come alongside an opportunity that simply did not exist before. If only cards were offered, many of these consumers would have never converted in the first place,” said Abreu.

The potential of recurring alternative payment methods (APMs) extends beyond Brazil. Across emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, over 1.3 billion adults lack access to credit or debit cards, relying on local APMs to access streaming, SaaS, gaming, and other subscription-based platforms.

EBANX has expanded its recurring APM offering across 12 emerging markets, unlocking a potential base of over 1 billion users for global merchants. Pix Automático is at the forefront of this wave in Latin America, a proof of concept that recurring payments built on local payment rails can work at scale.

Who is using Pix Automático

Brazil’s Central Bank data analyzed by EBANX shows that nearly 4 in 5 Pix Automático transactions are made by users aged 30 and above, with the 40-to-49 age group leading adoption at 24%. “Pix Automático is being embraced by consumers with established purchasing power and longer subscription lifespans, a profile that holds huge potential for merchants,” said Abreu.

Another finding from Pix Automático’s first year of operation relates to its adoption by businesses. While business-to-business (B2B) transactions accounted for less than 5% of all Pix Automático payments, they represented nearly 90% of the financial volume processed through the system. B2B transactions also recorded an average ticket size of approximately USD 3,200, underscoring the feature’s growing role in facilitating high-value recurring commercial payments.

ABOUT EBANX

EBANX is the leading payments platform connecting global businesses to the world’s fastest-growing digital markets. Founded in 2012 in Brazil, EBANX was built with a mission to expand access to international digital commerce. Leveraging proprietary technology, deep market expertise, and robust infrastructure, EBANX enables global companies to offer hundreds of local payment methods across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
