Kindo have added a new feature to their platform.
New to Kindo: Autopay
Staying on top of school payments just got a whole lot easier.
Did you know you can set up your Kindo account so it gets topped up automatically?
Kindo’s latest feature, Autopay, works with automatic payments to help you stay on top of school payment requests.
How it works:
You set your preferences (types of payments you want covered, wallet reserve etc)
Kindo emails you 48 hours before a payment run (so you can review or make changes)
Kindo pays the request automatically
Less hassle, fewer "wait, did I pay that?" moments, and more peace of mind for busy families.
