Project Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
British International School, Abu Dhabi, UAE had introduced a cashless system to all its schools. They aim to make the whole system cashless. To avail of these benefits, all parents and students should get registered. Multiple users like parents can use one account, and students can use the same account which will be mapped to prepaid smart cards. The school has made cashless cards for all students with their details.
Now Students can use these Prepaid payment cards to pay bills in school and parents can reload the cards by using their debit/Credit cards online via parents’ payment portal.
