Education is evolving rapidly, and technology is making it easier than ever to access quality learning resources. Around the world, EdTech platforms are changing how students learn, collaborate, and empower their futures.

In Pakistan, Edkasa is leading the way by making education more accessible through its curated learning resources and tools, supporting over 500,000+ students locally and internationally. Edkasa aims to augment its reach and success rates and to achieve this, it requires a robust and efficient payment infrastructure that simplifies access to its offerings for students, teachers, and schools alike. This is where Neem steps in, Pakistan’s leading embedded finance provider, offering comprehensive financial infrastructure to simplify the movement of funds for businesses in Pakistan.

The platform offers a range of Matric and Intermediate courses, including interactive video lectures, and exam preparation resources. Beyond serving individual learners, Edkasa also partners with schools in socio-economically challenged areas through its B2B model. Using connected classrooms, live online lessons are delivered by qualified teachers. Edkasa provides essential technology like smart projectors, tripods, speakers, and 4G hotspots, with schools paying a monthly subscription fee to deliver quality education to their students.

Enabling embedded digital payments for students

Digital payments are vital in helping EdTech platforms like Edkasa grow and reach more students. A reliable and easy-to-use payment system makes it simpler for users to access resources and services. However, platforms like Edkasa often face challenges due to fragmented payment experience,  lack of integrating reliable payment options, and long settlement times which can result in lower customer adoption and operational  inefficiencies

With the fast-paced implementation and well-coordinated support from Neem, Edkasa’s app has now embedded card-based payments for local and international users, addressing a key need for its audience. Previously, collecting payments from international users was challenging due to a lack of reliable payment options. With this integration, Edkasa’s international users can now make payments via debit or credit cards, ensuring faster settlements for the business. This enhanced payment experience allows students to seamlessly purchase their preferred courses on Edkasa’s platform, while Edkasa benefits from improved payment efficiency and a broader reach.

The integration also provides the Edkasa team with a centralised reporting portal, offering a holistic view of transactions, usage patterns, revenues, refunds, and other key insights—empowering them to make data-driven decisions and enhance operational efficiency.

"This partnership with Neem opens up exciting new possibilities for Edkasa. Our mission to empower students and educators across Pakistan is now augmented by a payment system as innovative and scalable as our platform to take our services to learners globally," said Fahad,  Edkasa’s co-founder.

Bringing digital wallets to the growing ecosystem of Edkasa

As part of the broader collaboration, Neem and Edkasa are exploring the introduction of a tailored wallet system for Edkasa's marketplace solution. Currently piloting a marketplace for one-on-one teacher-student sessions, Edkasa enables students to book lessons and transact directly. The integrated wallet system will streamline fund movement among multiple stakeholders, including students, teachers, and Edkasa. It will automate commission collection and teacher payouts, with an option for teachers to cash out directly to their bank accounts—delivering enhanced operational efficiency for Edkasa.

“We are proud to support Edkasa in its mission to transform education in Pakistan. By embedding our financial solutions, we are not only simplifying payments for their students but also empowering Edkasa to scale its offerings and serve a growing base of local and international customers. We look forward to being a trusted partner in their growth and financial wellness,” said Vladimira Briestenska, co-founder of Neem.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for Edkasa to scale its offerings. Together, Neem and Edkasa are driving financial wellness in the education space, ensuring that learners across Pakistan and beyond have seamless access to the resources they need to succeed and thrive.
