For many parents and guardians, the back-to-school season begins in the small, quiet moments. It could be in the kitchen before sunrise, in thoughts on the way to work, or in the numbers tallied repeatedly in their heads.
From school fees to uniforms, books, transport, and pocket money, it is never just a single bill to be paid. Instead, it is a series of priorities, each with a deadline, all arriving at once to draw from the same well of income.
The thought of paying school fees might bring to mind time-consuming trips to the bank. It
doesn’t have to be that way. Equity Bank offers a simple and faster way to handle payments and ease the pressure.
Instead of losing a morning, parents and guardians can pay fees directly from their phones
using the Equity Mobile App, by dialing *247#, or through Equitel. These digital options allow you to complete payments from anywhere, without interrupting your workday. One Equity Till Number makes everyday purchases quick and seamless, allowing money to move directly from your account to the merchant.
Back-to-School Rush: What every merchant needs to stay ahead of demand
For those who prefer a face-to-face transaction without the long wait, Equity Agents in your
neighborhood offer a convenient alternative. You can pay fees, withdraw cash, or make deposits right near where you live and work, saving valuable time.
Beyond fees, the endless shopping list can also be simplified. Instead of carrying cash, you can pay for books, uniforms, and other school essentials directly via the Equity Mobile app, dialing 247#, or through Equitel. Parents can also use an Equity Prepaid Card to pay for goods or even school-related expenses, offering a secure and controlled way to manage spending without handling cash.
And when it comes to pocket money, the prepaid card becomes even more practical. You can load money onto a card for your child, giving them a safe way to learn financial responsibility within clear limits. It reduces the need to repeatedly send cash and gives them independence in managing small daily expenses.
Sometimes, the biggest pressure is timing. School expenses may fall due before your salary arrives, or several needs may come at once. To bridge these gaps, Equity offers simple and accessible financial solutions.
For small, urgent shortfalls, Boostika allows you to complete a payment immediately and repay once your funds come in. If payday is just around the corner, Salary Advance gives you access to meet immediate needs.
All these options are available through the Equity Mobile App, *247# USSD code, Equity Online, and Equitel, ensuring you can access support wherever you are, without disrupting your day.
As a parent, what you need during this season is flexibility because the pressure does not come from just one expense, but from how many things must be handled at once. Let Equity help you manage the pressure so you can get back to doing what matters most.
