We’re parents, just like you. Between school drop-offs, snack duty, and bedtime stories, we’re building something meaningful: a financial platform that helps families, teachers, and schools thrive together.

Our story

Our story

Our story

Built by parents,
for parents.

We started Kina because, like you, we're in it every day, raising little humans, juggling school payments, groceries, activities, and everything in between.

We’re parents and we built Kina to reward you for all the things you already do, and to support the teachers who help shape our kids. With Kina, every payment goes further. You earn rewards, teachers earn more, and we all feel a little more seen and supported.

We built this for our family. Now it's here for yours.

With love,

Ennie & Benny

Co-founders Kina

Why we do it

We’re building a movement.

Because when parents feel supported, teachers feel appreciated, and schools feel secure, everyone wins.

Kina turns tuition and everyday parenting expenses into rewards; for the families paying, the schools educating, and the teachers shaping the next generation.

Get started

The best rewards are the moments that matter.

Every smile, every laugh, that’s what it’s all for. Kina just helps make those moments a little easier to earn.
