Egyptian fintech Klickit raises funding from UAE investors to expand its digital school fee payment platform across the education sector.
Egyptian edfintech startup Klickit has raised an undisclosed investment from a consortium of UAE-based investors, including fintech-focused family offices, to accelerate the digitization of school and university fee payments across Egypt and the wider region.
Klickit partners with educational institutions to offer parents digital channels for paying tuition and related fees via cards, wallets and bank transfers, while providing schools with reconciliation and analytics tools.
The company says the funding will bolster its engineering and sales teams, improve integrations with core banking systems and expand into neighboring markets, starting with the Gulf. Klickit has positioned itself as an infrastructure play, building APIs that enable schools to integrate payments into their portals and apps while ensuring compliance with local regulations on tuition handling.
With Egypt prioritizing financial inclusion and digital transformation in education, the startup believes its platform can help reduce cash dependence and administrative overhead for schools.
The new UAE investors are expected to open doors to cross-border partnerships with Gulf-based educational groups and banks that see fee payments as an entry point for bundled youth-focused financial products.
