Cashless solutions for schools

Solving the problem of cash and driving economic inclusion, one school at a time.


Pretoria, 07 Jan 2019

In light of the recent surge in cash-in-transit heists, d6 group has committed to find a solution through the utilisation of new innovations in the financial technology industry. As part of its ongoing mission to help schools become more efficient, d6 group has developed a solution that takes a blanket approach to the cash-on-premises problem by working on a school level to create secure cashless environments.

The main goal in developing the solution was to take to heart the specific needs of the schools with which the company engaged.

d6 group has partnered with Sticitt, a financial technology business, to embed a payment solution in the existing d6+ product offering, which various communities and schools already use to communicate with their respective members. This allows parents to make payments without having to download and get used to another application. d6+ also offers direct financial accounting integration to automate some of the administration involved in managing payment receipts.

The d6+ Cashless solution already offers support for card processing, EFT and cash deposits at ATMs, and the d6 group is currently working on additional ways for people to make payments without requiring a smart device or Internet connectivity.

2019 will also see the inclusion of on-campus payment options rounding off the d6+ Cashless offering to truly offer a full cashless solution. With the problem of using cash often affecting those who are least able to afford the current alternatives, d6 is dedicated to solving these challenges in a manner that suits everyone.
