How Partners Make Money

Concrete monetization paths, not abstract collaboration promises.

Bank Partner Flow

A bank powers school fee rails, earns transaction income, and cross-sells working-capital loans to qualified schools.

Example economics: fee flow + float + loan book growth

Distributor Flow

A regional partner onboards schools and earns recurring commission per activated school and retained account.

Example economics: onboarding fee + annual recurring commission

Vendor Flow

A supplier lists products in marketplace workflows and earns from direct school procurement demand.

Example economics: transaction margin + repeat purchasing cycles

Technology Flow

An API partner is embedded into finance and operations journeys and monetizes through usage-driven volume.

Example economics: API calls + value-added feature adoption
