With lockdown, everything has gone digital
Since the lockdown, everything has gone digital. People are doing food shopping online and downloading apps to order and deliver pharmaceuticals. Even school fees can now be paid through an app.
Karri, a mobile payment app that is fast, secure and powered by Nedbank, allows parents to pay school fees from the safety of their home. Simply put, Karri helps parents make safe, quick and convenient payments to their school. The app has helped move millions in cash through secure, trackable online transfers.
In a bid to do its part during the global pandemic and to help parents in these tough economic conditions, Karri has announced that it will reduce its fees on all school transactions over R2000 for the next three months. This will enable parents to access their credit cards to utilise additional financing options for tuition fees.
Karri is transformative for schools and a no-brainer when it comes to admin. The Karri platform offers a fully comprehensive financial management and payment system that schools can use to manage accounts. Currently, Karri is being used in over 1000 schools nationwide.
Doug Hoernle, Karri CEO, says parents will no doubt be planning carefully to weather these uncertain months to come. “We are proud to assist parents during these difficult times. There will still be significant upheaval in the economy for a long time to come, even after the lockdown is finally lifted and when schools reopen.”
He says the Karri app has many advantages, especially in these times it will particularly protect everyone by facilitating strict social distancing. “Parents will be enjoying the complete Karri functionality to aid their bursars in reconciling payments, sending out reminders and adding transparency and efficiency in what will certainly be trying times for everyone.”
Schools that use Karri for collecting tuition fees have had faster payment response times due to parents utilising their credit cards rather than cash. Downloading the Karri app remains free and there are no further charges to parents.
“Schools will continue to educate and this means tuition still needs to be paid. Since parents cannot visit the school, it is crucial that they find an alternative solution to access their account and pay. Karri is the platform you need to know about to make payments to school.” he concludes.
