Founded in 2014 by Jules Maitrepierre, the International Finance Student Association (IFSA) found its home at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands. The network is the most important aspect of the IFSA. Ever since its establishment in Rotterdam, the goal of IFSA has been to connect students from the best universities in the world. The association is committed towards connecting students to financial institutions and providing them with the required assistance to kickstart successful careers in finance and beyond.
