School fees · Pilot for Nairobi businesses
School fees paid with the right reference, and balances you can see.
Parents pay by M-Pesa using the learner’s admission number. Receipts go out automatically, and the bursar sees each learner’s balance without matching statements by hand.
The problem
- Parents pay without the admission number, so payments go unallocated
- Receipts are written by hand and balances are worked out manually
- Arrears are only discovered at the end of term
What we set up
- Payments matched to each learner by admission number
- Automatic receipts to parents by SMS or WhatsApp
- A balance per learner and an arrears list per class
- Polite reminders to parents before and during term
Who it suits
Private schools, kindergartens and colleges collecting fees by M-Pesa.
What you need
A Paybill number, the learner list with admission numbers, and your fee structure.
How the pilot works
We are starting with a small number of pilot businesses. After a short call, we agree the scope and price with you in writing before any work begins.
