We live in a culture where convenience is king. Parents expect things to be instant, easy, and hassle-free, which is why they choose Karri over other payment methods.
Devika Rambuker, Financial Secretary at Howick Preparatory, puts it simply:
“If parents don’t see their school fee collection on Karri, they’ll phone us and ask, ‘Where is it?!’
Parents are bombarded with demands all day, so Karri’s reminders are a powerful way to get them to pay school fees fast. It also means they can use their credit cards and earn their points.”
Collecting school fees upfront doesn’t just mean more money in your bank account. It means you collect payments you never would have collected otherwise.
“Karri supports our debt collection process because we’d never be able to send the volume of reminders that Karri sends. And the reminders are critical to getting parents to pay instantly and consistently. Our parents are so used to using Karri for everything that it just makes sense.”

It’s clear that Karri helps you collect more money from parents upfront.
But how do you make that money work in your favour?
By depositing it in an interest-bearing account, you quickly cancel out our transaction fee and start earning interest on your money.
“Using Karri means we save money on 1) cash handling fees and 2) increased security on the school premises.”
