Entrepreneurship isn't easy. Building a business can be a lonely and uncertain road. But one thing is certain, if you have the right card machine for your business, you can improve sales and your business profile. 

Meet Thabile Masuku, the founder of the Sijabulile Daycare Centre, who learned very quickly that the right card machine would be a key factor in helping her business to grow.

A Childhood Dream

Growing up, Thabile always wanted to be a teacher, "It was something my heart longed for because I love children, although I never knew that one day that dream would become a reality." A business thrives on generating income and providing efficient service, but safety and convenience are also important, to the business and its customers.

When assessing her business and the community she served, Thabile observed that the safety of her business and convenience for her customers was indeed important factor for her to consider. With this realisation, she decided to get a VodaPay Kwika Card Machine, which she felt suited her business's needs.

Instant Benefit Of Having A VodaPay Kwika Card Machine

Thabile noticed an almost immediate increase in the payment of fees by parents. This was thanks to them not needing to stand in long lines at the bank to deposit the fees. Instead, they could come into the daycare centre and pay using their cards, also protecting her and them from the dangers of having cash on site.
