Karri Payments Aims To Make Schools Safer Through Online Transfers. Karri is a fin-tech start-up developing a product in the school payments space. The Karri system allows parents to easily pay for their child’s events and other expenses using its mobile application. No more searching for exact change or making cumbersome EFTs. Karri helps schools and teachers by making the cash collection process less time consuming, less stressful and safer for everyone involved. Karri allows clients to make safe, quick and convenient payments to your school or other community organisation. So far, the company has helped move millions in cash from schools to secure, traceable online transfers. The company was founded in 2016 by Entrepreneur Doug Hoernle, who also serves as the company’s CEO.
Over the past four years, Karri Payments has taken South Africa and beyond by storm, becoming one of SA’s most loved apps. The aim of Karri has always remained congruous: To make schools a safer place which in turn allows more room for positive impact in the classroom and beyond. Karri has helped thousands of schools and other community organisations collect funds from parents and members and have removed hundreds of millions of Rands from school campuses across the country. Karri is the only app within the school-space that is backed by a bank. It is proudly powered by Nedbank, one of South Africa’s largest Banks, meaning there are absolutely no grey areas when it comes to the security of their client’s money.
Whether the client is a school, charity, religious organisation or small business, Karri is the easiest way to allow people to pay and donate securely from the comfort of their Smartphone; whilst giving the client the ability to comprehensively manage funds that are collected. Karri is built on communities and it believes in connection. That’s why it has a dedicated team of Account Managers in different provinces around South Africa.
Karri is on a mission to make schools globally, a safer environment, and to make payments and collections quick, easy and hassle-free. Karri is made up of a team of rock star teachers, parents, sales experts, engineers and financiers who are working together to take Karri onto the global stage and beyond.
