Getnet Platforms Helps the University of Salamanca Take Spanish Learning Global

That belief drives our partnership with one of the world’s most respected academic institutions: the University of Salamanca, a university that has shaped knowledge for over 800 years.

Founded in 1218, Salamanca is not only Spain’s oldest university but also a benchmark for academic excellence and linguistic heritage. It was the first university in the Hispanic world and remains a global reference in the teaching of Spanish, welcoming students from more than 100 countries.

Today, that same pioneering spirit continues through NetLish   — a new digital learning platform that combines Salamanca’s academic legacy withGetnet Platforms’s payment infrastructure designed for growth, enabling a seamless learning and payment experience for students worldwide.

Developed by Cursos Internacionales de la Universidad de Salamanca, NetLish brings together centuries of academic excellence and modern digital learning to transform how Spanish is taught, shared, and experienced.

The platform offers resources for students, teachers, institutions, and companies — blending the tradition of Salamanca with the accessibility and personalization that today’s learners demand.

Its first rollout focuses on the United States: home to more than 8.5 million Spanish learners, a thriving Hispanic community, and nearly 500 universities    represented by the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), a key partner in the initiative.

“We want the Spanish-speaking world in the U.S. to have a single voice — the voice of NetLish,”

says José Miguel Sánchez Llorente, Director of Cursos Internacionales.

Behind every great learning experience is great technology — and that’s where Getnet Platforms comes in.

Through tokenized, multi-currency payments, Getnet Platforms enables NetLish users to purchase educational resources quickly, securely, and transparently in their local currency.

Starting with U.S. dollar transactions, the partnership will soon expand to other currencies, creating a borderless and frictionless experience for learners worldwide.

Getnet Platforms’s scalable infrastructure is designed to support future integrations in regions such as Asia, helping NetLish make Spanish education increasingly accessible across new markets.

“Getnet Platforms has become a cornerstone of our project — integrating seamlessly, with the same dedication and professionalism as if they were part of our own team,”

adds Sánchez Llorente.

The collaboration between Getnet Platforms and the University of Salamanca goes beyond technology — it reflects a shared vision for education without barriers and payments without borders.

Together, we’re helping shape a model of digital education that is inclusive, scalable, and global.

Because when learning meets innovation, payments done right empower institutions and students to grow.
