Description

About the Company

Kindo is New Zealand’s leading Schools Payments System, working alongside other software platforms like Student Management Systems and Xero to help schools achieve more for their students.

Kindo is a registered Financial Service Provider, and an active member of the booming New Zealand Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Financial Technology (FinTech) industries. Both industries are considered two of the best industries to align with in New Zealand, with extraordinary growth trajectories and futures, unconstrained by our local population or distance from other markets. Incredible organisations have paved the path of greatness, including Xero, PushPay, Vend, and Sharesies.

The Customer Value Proposition

Many NZ Schools lack the funding and time required to provide the very best education for our kids. Without sufficient funds, it can be difficult to provide resources like special needs teacher aides or sports equipment and expertise to create the next Kiwi-legends.

New Zealand Principals and School Business Managers work tirelessly to manage curriculum and pastoral care for our kids against tight budgets and headcounts, but it all requires money.

Kindo is a NZ-owned company, dedicated to helping our school leaders improve resources for their schools. Progressive schools use Kindo to remove the friction in the student payment process, making it super-easy for admins to publish requests for payment and for caregivers to understand what they owe and get it off their to-do list.

From donation requests to lunches, sports registrations, fundraising and so much more, Kindo has the capability to help schools achieve more.
To date, the focus of Kindo’s expansion has been on Primary Schools. With some recent developments, the Kindo team are well into its journey into Secondary Schools and have ambitious growth plans over the next few years.
