Progressive schools use Kindo to remove the friction in the student payment process, making it super-easy for admins to publish requests for payment and for caregivers to understand what they owe and get it off their to-do list.

From donation requests to lunches, sports registrations, fundraising and so much more, Kindo has the capability to help schools achieve more.

To date, the focus of Kindo’s expansion has been on Primary Schools.  With some recent developments, the Kindo team are well into its journey into Secondary Schools and have ambitious growth plans over the next few years.
