PingPing goes to school..
Paying withPingPing pays off, it’s safe, fast and simple!
From kindergarten on, parents, children and the school have to deal with a lot of small transactions. Just think of meals, child care, transportation and day trips.The result: a lot of extra work in collecting money, including cash, and processing it in bookkeeping.
What is PingPing?
PingPing is a safe and practical electronic wallet for small payments on the go. Students can purchase product and services with a card or PingPing sticker up to a maximum amount of 50 euros per transaction. Paying for lunch, or a drink from the machine? Or maybe the fee for a school trip?
You can PingPing with a mobile phone, but in schools, a payment card or a sticker is a much handier means of payment.
- The PingPing card can be linked to the student card
- Rather not use a card? There are also the PingPing tags, which for example van be placed on a mobile phone
- The parents can choose to put either normal money or school money on the account. School money can only be spent at a school.

Managing the school account is just as simple, either via the site, or offline via money transfer. What if the balance drop below a certain limit? A notice is sent out via SMS or e-mail when money has to be added.
Lost your card???
>>>In case of theft or loss of the card, all you have to do is make a phone call to 078/054315 or go online to block the PingPing card. The card is then immediatelly deactivated. Easy and fast! The money is always in the account, not on the card. This provides for extra security! What’s more, a new card can be easily linked to an existing account.
After launching a pilot project in April 2009, PingPing and Coca-Cola Enterprises concluded a partnership agreement this week to equip Coca-Cola’s automatic vending machines in Belgium and Luxembourg with the PingPing NFC payment solution.
