Cashless Campuses & Instant Student Stipends

UbuntuLink powers fee collection, scholarship payouts and campus wallets via mobile‑money, USSD and QR—even in the most remote school districts.

Why Education Needs Wallet‑First Rails

Paper fee receipts cost African schools up to 7 % of revenue in cash leakage and admin time. Mobile‑money adoption among parents has soared—Kenya saw 99 % of secondary registration paid digitally—but most institutions still queue guardians in lines. Scholarship and stipend programs that switched to mobile wallets cut distribution costs by half and increased on‑time attendance by 17 %.
