Back to School Shopping: The new school terms for the new 2023 academic year has kicked off.
As is likely to happen, long queues are being witnessed at the banks as parents battle to settle their kids’ school fees in time, or withdraw monies for books and uniforms, or apply for salary advances. In any given instance, this is bound to be a tedious and time consuming task.
But there are easier ways that parents can go around such inconveniences. For example, unlike previous years, this year, parents can settle all their school fees from the comfort of their mobile phones.
At the same time, they no longer need to queue at the bank in order to withdraw money for shopping or at the ATM. This is because shopping can now be paid for using Visa Cards.
To begin with, you need to get the MCoop Cash mobile app. This app is available for download on any app store.
