In many countries, students spend evenings and weekends at tuition or coaching centres preparing for school leaving exams, entrance tests and university admission. Centres charge monthly, termly or per-course fees, often in instalments, and staff spend a lot of time chasing late payments and handing out receipts. Parents want an easy way to pay and proof that they have paid. A payments app that sends fee links, takes instalments by phone and reminds parents automatically can win tuition centres, and every family that pays sees your app.

Grow through parents

Parents often have more than one child in classes and talk to other parents at the gate. When paying fees through your app is easy, they will use it for other payments too.
