Your child eats well.
You stay informed.
SEndiPay is a cashless school payment system — parents load a digital wallet, students pay at the canteen with a fingerprint scan, and parents get real-time visibility of every purchase.
How SEndiPay works
Download & Register
Create your parent account, link it to your child's school, and verify your identity in minutes — using your national ID.
Top Up the Wallet
Deposit pocket money via MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, or bank transfer. Set a daily spending limit per child.
Track Every Purchase
Get a real-time push notification the moment your child makes any purchase — what they bought, where, and how much.
No card. No PIN.
Just a fingerprint.
Unlike card or QR systems, a fingerprint cannot be lost, borrowed, or stolen. Every payment at school is cryptographically tied to the student's unique biometric — making fraud and buddy-punching impossible.
Tamper-proof authentication
Fingerprint templates are stored on the device, never transmitted. No biometric data leaves the school.
Sub-second verification
Match and approve in under 0.8 seconds. Canteen queues move faster than with cash.
Parent override controls
Parents can freeze the wallet, set daily limits, or block specific purchase categories at any time.
Beyond the canteen
SEndiPay handles any cashless transaction within the school ecosystem.
Canteen & Tuck Shop
Daily meals, snacks, juice — instant fingerprint payment at the counter.

Uniform Shop
Purchase school uniforms, PE kits, and branded items from the school store.

Medical & Welfare
School nurse, welfare fund contributions, and designated welfare purchases.
Printing & ICT
Print credits, computer lab access fees, and digital resource purchases.

Built for everyone

Schools and parents love it
"I used to send 10,000 shillings every Monday and never knew where it went. Now I get a notification for every single purchase. Yesterday I saw Aisha bought lunch and a juice — exactly what she should be spending on."
"Our canteen was reconciling cash manually every day — it took two staff members an hour each morning. With SEndiPay, the report is in my email before I even arrive at school. We've eliminated cash shortfalls completely."
"My daughter is in boarding and I was always worried about how she was managing her money. SEndiPay lets me top up remotely and I can see every purchase. The freezing feature saved us once when her phone was taken."
