Together, Kamar and Kindo create a powerful, integrated solution that streamlines payments, improves financial reporting, and enhances the parent experience.

1. Seamless Data Integration for Effortless Administration

Kindo integrates with Kamar to ensure a smooth flow of student data, enabling:

• Automated syncing of student details – hourly updates from Kamar to Kindo, making it simple to assign payment requests based on student groups, classrooms, or individuals.
• A streamlined experience for school finance teams, reducing the need for duplicate data entry.

This integration means schools can retain Kamar as their central student management hub, while leveraging Kindo’s financial features to optimise payment processes.

2. Enhancing Payment Processing and Reducing Admin Workload

Kindo offers additional tools to simplify school payments:

• Automatic payment reconciliation – eliminating the need for manual processing, particularly for bank transfers.
• Batch-processing into Xero, ensuring accurate coding of school revenue and expenses.
• Effortless refund management, allowing schools to quickly and easily refund payments via Kindo without needing to collect caregiver bank details.

By automating these finance tasks, administrators save valuable time, allowing them to focus on higher-value projects that benefit students and staff.

3. Improving Donation and Payment Fulfilment

Kindo has been proven to help schools increase donation collection rates by making it easy and convenient for caregivers to contribute. Key benefits include:

• Clear, consolidated payment requests that integrate seamlessly with the Kindo mobile app. By making it easy enough to do while in a queue or a waiting room, Kindo turns those micro-moments into payment fulfilment.
• Multiple payment options (including POLi, debit/credit card, Online EFTPOS, and Apple Pay) to give parents flexibility.
• The ‘Platform Effect’, which increases the visibility of payment requests - parents visiting Kindo for one payment (e.g., sports registration) are reminded of outstanding requests like donations or trip fees.
• The ‘Network Effect’, which increases the payment request fulfilment - parents often have children at multiple schools & clubs, using various Student/Member Management Systems. Having bills aggregated helps all service providers get attention to payment requests.

When used alongside Kamar, Kindo helps schools collect more payments on time, with less admin effort.

4. Elevating the Parent Experience

Kamar and Kindo together offer a smoother, more user-friendly experience for parents:

• One place to manage all school-related transactions—from donations to lunches to sports fees.
• A mobile-friendly platform with Face ID login and a modern interface.
• Self-service payment history and refunds, reducing calls to the school office.

This reduces friction for caregivers and increases engagement with school payment requests.

5. Supporting Complex School Financial Needs

For schools with multiple accounts and payment structures, Kindo ensures:

• Payments are directed to the correct accounts, whether for general school fees, sports, or PTA fundraising.
• Flexible caregiver contribution management, allowing payments to be split between parents where needed.

A Stronger, More Connected Solution for Schools

Kamar and Kindo are not competitors - they are partners in helping schools run more smoothly. While Kamar remains the backbone of student records and reporting, Kindo brings specialist financial tools that make payment processing effortless.

By working together, Kamar and Kindo provide a complete student and school finance solution that benefits administrators, parents, and students alike.
