It is FREE to download from either the Apple Store or Google Play Store and it uses less data than WhatsApp. The application is called Karri. It is an innovative mobile payment application that allows you to make quick payments for school collections using your smartphone. Karri is powered by Nedbank but will work with any bank ensuring the safety and security of all information loaded onto the App. It is therefore fully POPI and PCI DSS compliant with stringent internal measures.We have furthermore entered into a contractual agreement with Karri to guarantee this.Your child will be allocated a unique code needed to access the App; you will get an email/SMS directly from Karri. We would really appreciate your support in striving to be a cash free environment.
