Common questions

I paid but the balance did not change

Mobile money confirmations can lag by a few minutes. Reopen the app first. If it has not appeared after an hour, email us with your phone number, the amount, and the mobile money reference, and we will trace the payment.

My child's palm is not recognised

Hold the palm flat, fingers slightly apart, a hand's width above the reader and keep it still for a moment. The reader needs good light; in a dim corner move it nearer a window or light. If it keeps failing, ask the school to re-enrol the palm. Meanwhile the student can tap their Kantini wristband or card, or the canteen can find them by name, so they are not left unable to buy lunch.

I want to stop my child spending

Open the app and freeze the wallet. It takes effect immediately, and no terminal can take payment or pay out cash from a frozen wallet. Unfreeze whenever you like.

Someone spent money I did not expect

Freeze the wallet first, then email us with the date and amount. Every payment is recorded against a terminal and a palm match, so we can tell you where and when it happened.

I changed my phone number

Contact us before you give up the old number. Sign-in is tied to the phone number, so whoever ends up with your old number could otherwise access your account.

My child left the school

Tell us and we will delete their palm template. Ask us to return any remaining balance at the same time.
