Isaac

Tuition receivables guarantee for schools

Overview

Isaac is a Brazilian fintech and EdTech platform that helps private K-12 schools secure stable revenue by guaranteeing monthly tuition receipts. For a fee, Isaac pays the school's receivables upfront and then handles billing and collections from families via options like credit card, boleto, and Pix. In addition to revenue management, Isaac provides Isaac na Escola, an all-in-one school operating system that combines administrative software with parent communication and student information management. Its goal is to reduce payment delays while offering a centralized platform that simplifies both finance and administration for private schools in Brazil.
