Organic demand — schools approached us directly.

Problem

Nigerian private schools (60,000+) run finances on cash, notebooks, and spreadsheets. Schools lose 15–30% of expected revenue to late payments, cash leakage, and poor tracking. Existing solutions force separate accounts per child/parent, creating friction and fragmentation.

Solution

Fundtrak is a complete financial operating system for schools:

  • Automated fee collection with AI payment matching
  • Full payroll and expenditure management
  • NFC attendance with parent WhatsApp alerts
  • Tuckshop wallet for in-school purchases
  • One account per school, one per parent — regardless of number of children

Phase 2: school working capital loans powered by transaction data.

Business Model
  • Transaction fees: 1.5% capped at ₦650 (net ₦550 after Sterling)
  • NFC attendance: ₦1,500/child/term
  • Payroll: ₦25/transfer
  • School loans: ₦5M avg working capital loans at 5%/term, repaid automatically from next term's fees — ~₦750K/school/year
  • Deposit float: schools hold funds for payroll & expenditure

Unit economics: ~₦3.1M/school/year (base). With school loans: ~₦3.9M/school/year. At 40 schools = ₦150M+ annual revenue.
