When support is sent as unrestricted cash, the payer may have limited visibility into how it is ultimately used.
PODremit™ is being designed to connect each authorized payment to a clearly defined need and a selected participating merchant.
One purpose-directed education payment journey—from request and approval to payment and confirmation.
The recipient identifies a specific education need, selects a participating school and sends a payment request to the payer.
The payer reviews the recipient, participating school, purpose and amount before approving the request.
After approval, the recipient uses the PODremit™ QR code or merchant code to pay the participating school connected to the approved education need.
Support tuition, school fees and other approved education needs through a participating institution.
Pay participating healthcare providers and licensed pharmacies directly for loved ones’ care and prescribed medication.
Support approved grocery, household and everyday essential needs through a participating merchant.
The payer selects a participating merchant, recipient, and enters other relevant details and begins an authorization for a clearly defined purpose.
The recipient prepares a request connected to a participating merchant for the payer to review, edit, approve or decline.
The payer remains in control—reviewing the recipient, merchant, amount and purpose before authorizing any recipient-initiated request.
Payments are intended to be authorized for a selected participating merchant and a clearly defined purpose.
Payers can review relevant merchant and request information before deciding whether to authorize.
A payer may begin the support, or a recipient may prepare a request for review.
The planned experience includes useful transaction status, confirmations and records for the relevant participants.
A recipient may request support for a defined need without having to receive unrestricted cash.

PODremit™ is being designed to connect an authorized payment to a selected participating merchant and a clearly defined need. The goal is to give the payer, recipient and merchant greater clarity about what was requested, approved and completed.
Yes, that is part of the intended design. A recipient may prepare a request linked to a participating merchant. The payer can then review the details and decide whether to edit, approve or decline it.
Once a request is approved, PODremit™ is designed to create a digital authorization connected to the approved recipient, amount, purpose and participating merchant.
PODremit™ is being designed as payment technology, not as a bank. The final movement and handling of funds will depend on appropriately qualified and licensed payment partners, the product architecture and applicable requirements.
PODremit™ is still being developed. The proposed first pilot is expected to focus on the U.S–Nigeria corridor and education-related needs, subject to funding, development, testing, partner readiness, and legal and regulatory review.
