Paymentology Partners with Sticitt to Transform Financial Literacy in South African Schools

In an exciting move for the future of financial literacy in South Africa, Paymentology, a leading global issuer processor, has announced a strategic partnership with local fintech sensation Sticitt. This alliance is set to redefine how schools in South Africa manage their financial operations while equipping young minds with essential money management skills.

Sticitt, driven by its mission to instill healthy financial habits in children from an early age, aims to create a generation of financially savvy individuals. By introducing innovative solutions to streamline school payments, the company is revolutionizing how educational institutions interact with parents and the wider community. This partnership will not only facilitate smoother transactions for school-related fees but will also enable schools to boost revenue without burdening their administrative teams.

Gone are the days of cumbersome paperwork and delayed transactions. With Sticitt’s user-friendly platform, parents can easily make payments, and children can learn valuable lessons about financial responsibility as they partake in the transaction process. The approach emphasizes six vital money habits: earning through effort, wise spending, careful budgeting, saving for future needs, investing toward goals, and participating in community success—all foundational practices to nurture lifelong financial well-being.

In this initiative, Paymentology contributes its extensive expertise in payment technology, empowering Sticitt to integrate cutting-edge solutions like the Mastercard offering. This feature allows children to engage with real-world transaction scenarios, fostering a hands-on understanding of managing money responsibly.

Theo Kitshoff, Co-Founder and CEO of Sticitt, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, noting, “Paymentology recognized the future we’re building at Sticitt and eagerly joined forces with us to help realize this vision.” His acknowledgment of Paymentology’s innovative mindset reinforces the importance of collaboration in creating impactful financial solutions for schools.

Drisha Kirkman, Paymentology’s Head of Programme Management and Sustainability, also emphasized the synergy between the two entities. “Sticitt’s vision aligns with our own commitment to empowering individuals with the tools they need for financial success,” she stated, underlining the mutual goal of fostering a financially literate generation.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in promoting financial education in South Africa, demonstrating a collective commitment to shaping children’s understanding of money. As this initiative evolves, it holds the promise of expanding beyond South African borders, potentially inspiring similar programs across the continent.

Together, Paymentology and Sticitt are not just redefining school finance; they’re laying the groundwork for a brighter and more informed financial future for South Africa’s youth.
