Student Beans: what, how, why?

What

Student Beans provides the end-to-end solution for brands looking to run a student discount program. We validate students all around the world using our secure verification technology – and the brands we work with can tap into that ever-growing global community of 16-24-year-olds using our bespoke media services.
