Irish start-up EduBills has come up with an inventive way to take cash out of the equation when parents are paying for their children’s schoolbooks, uniforms and supplies.
Founded in 2010 by Sandra Maguire, EduBills is one of the 12 start-ups that are launching as part of DCU's 12 Days of Christmas initiative.
It was while she was working in a primary school back in 2010 that Mcguire saw a niche for an online payment system that would take away some of the hassle when parents and caregivers are paying school bills or purchasing books.
As well as this, from a school's perspective, she felt that such an online system would also reduce administrative costs, making it a win-win for everybody.
