What is Lipa Karo?
+
It is a service that allows payments and collection of school fees through M-PESA. Upon signing up for a Lipa Karo account, a school is issued with a business number to which parents and guardians pay their child’s fees. The service is available to schools which have signed up for an M-PESA Paybill number for Lipa Karo or through paybill accounts operated by our partners e.g. Kenya Commercial Bank, Co-operative Bank and Pesapal.
