School-fee financing · Coming to Lagos

School fees,
paid on your schedule.

We’re building a simpler way for parents to spread school-fee payments, working with schools and employers. Launching first in Lagos.

The timing problem

A school term starts on schedule. Household cash flow does not always follow.

School fees can arrive as one large payment even when income comes in monthly. Instu Finance is developing a way for eligible parents to spread that cost across an agreed schedule, while approved financing goes directly to the school.

Education matters every term. The timing of a fee should not make planning harder than it needs to be.
