Questions

What schools ask before they start.

Where does the money go?

Straight into your school's own bank account. Karo never holds school funds.

Do we need our own M-Pesa paybill?

No, no paybill setup is needed from the school. Parents pay by M-Pesa, mobile money or card.

What if a parent does not use WhatsApp?

They get the same branded invoice and pay link by email.

How fast is onboarding?

Most schools set up in a day, then go live once documents clear.

Is our data safe?

Each school's data is kept apart, encrypted and open only to the people you allow, with two step sign in.
