By February 6, 2025No Comments

 

Access to education is not just about having schools, teachers, and books—it’s also about ensuring that students can easily pay for their needs without financial barriers. In many African countries, cash-based transactions in schools remain a challenge for parents, students, and school administrators. Parents often struggle with the inconvenience of cash payments, students risk losing money, and schools deal with inefficient fee collection systems.

VeryPay’s Cashless Schools effectively bridges the gap with digital payments, simplifying transactions for all parties involved. By integrating mobile money wallets, NFC-enabled bracelets, and cards, VeryPay is transforming how school payments work—making them more accessible, secure, and inclusive.

Already, VeryPay’s Cashless Schools is active in Uganda and Senegal, with over 5,000 students enrolled, marking a significant milestone in financial inclusion for education.
