School terms come with a familiar routine. Parents fill envelopes with pocket money, queue to pay fees, and carry thick bundles of cash for shopping. But there’s a simpler way, one that puts safety, control, and convenience right into your phone. It starts with an Equity Prepaid Card for every school going child and your own Equity card for the rest.

The Equity Prepaid Card changes how pocket money moves. Instead of handing your child loose notes that can vanish between the dormitory and the shop, you load funds onto a card. You decide exactly how much goes on it and when. You can set daily or weekly limits so spending stays within allowable limits. If the card gets lost, you block it instantly from the Equity Mobile App. No panic, no lost money. And beyond safety, the card becomes a quiet teacher. Children check their balance, plan what to buy, and learn that money runs out when they don’t track it. .

Getting a card is straightforward. Walk into any Equity Bank branch with your ID and your child’s birth certificate. Ask for the Junior or Teen prepaid card depending on their age. Within minutes you walk out with a loaded tool that keeps your peace of mind intact all term.

While your child learns to spend wisely, your own Equity debit or credit card handles the back to school shopping with zero drama. Swipe at the supermarket for books, stationery, and snacks without drawing a single shilling in cash. Tap to pay where contactless is accepted and you’re through in seconds. Every transaction shows up clearly on your statement and depending on your card type, you might even earn cashback or loyalty points along the way.

And when you spot an Equity Till number at the shop counter, you’ve found the smoothest payment trick of all. Pay directly from your Equity account through the app and get an instant digital receipt for your records.

School fees also fit into this cashless circle. Equity Agents sit right in your neighbourhood and process fee payments straight into the school’s account in under two minutes. You leave with a stamped receipt and zero hassle. So the full back to school picture becomes beautifully simple. An Equity Agent for fees, Equity Till for shopping, and an Equity Prepaid Card for your child’s pocket money.

Parents across Kenya are already enjoying the switch. Mercy from Nairobi says, “Last term my son lost Ksh 3,000 meant for shopping. This term he has an Equity Prepaid Card. I load exactly what he needs on Sunday evening. The peace is priceless.” Brian from Kisumu adds, “I pay fees at the Equity Agent kiosk near the estate gate. I’m done before the matatu even fills up.”
