Their school week, at a glance.
Designed for a quick glance.
The parent app and the canteen dashboard, as they are today.
Balance, quick actions, each child's day and this week's spending.
Built to be trusted.
A simpler way to pay starts with clear boundaries around your family’s data.
Palm-vein recognition
The reader looks at the vein pattern beneath the skin, which is unique to each person and cannot be copied from a photo.
Biometric data never stored in the app
Palm templates live only on the school reader system in Saudi Arabia. The parent app holds no biometric data.
Built for Saudi PDPL
We collect the minimum, keep it in the Kingdom and give parents clear rights over their data.
Built to work with licensed Saudi payment providers
Money movement is designed around payment providers licensed in Saudi Arabia. We never handle card details ourselves.
We are launching with our first partner schools in Saudi Arabia.
Join the pilot. We set up the readers, train the canteen team and run the enrollment day with you.

Questions, answered plainly.
Is it safe?
Yes. The reader recognises the vein pattern under the skin, which cannot be copied from a photo or a print. Biometric templates stay on the school reader system, never in the app or on our website. Payments are processed by licensed providers.
What if a scan fails?
The student simply tries again. If the reader still cannot match the palm, canteen staff can look the student up by name and complete the purchase from the dashboard, with the same limits applied.
What does it cost the school?
We agree this with each school. During the pilot our aim is to keep the cost to the school as close to zero as possible.
What about children without enrollment?
Nothing changes for them. The canteen keeps accepting its usual payment methods alongside Raha Pay, and a student can enroll at any time.
Where is data stored?
Palm templates live only on the school reader system in Saudi Arabia. Account, wallet and transaction data is stored on servers in the Kingdom, in line with the PDPL.
How do parents top up?
During the pilot, parents top up at the school and the amount appears in the app instantly. Card and Apple Pay top-ups in the app will follow after the pilot.
