Hello Mary, Please note that notifications are only sent for voucher purchases and some transactions may not send you notifications, if you want to receive each and every transaction notification you can enable this via the app. To see a full break down of your childโ€™s transaction history, tap manage child then view transaction insights. Thank you.

The app is good, but the charges to transfer funds to the Kawu account are extortionately expensive!

Ite a good experience but you need to ensure that Pupils' photos are seen on the machine before approving a payment to prevent unauthorised pupils from using cards that ae not theirs .
