The problem

Does this sound familiar?

Parents calling all day

Your bursar spends hours answering "Did you receive my payment?" instead of doing real work.

Manual MPESA checking

Scrolling through hundreds of MPESA messages and updating Excel sheets by hand every single day.

No real-time visibility

The principal has no idea how much has been collected until the bursar prepares a report manually.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. Elimu Pay is entirely web-based. You open it in any browser — desktop or phone — and everything works instantly. There is nothing to download or install.

How does the MPESA matching work?

You download your MPESA statement (a CSV or Excel file) from your Safaricom portal and upload it to Elimu Pay. The system reads each transaction, looks up the sender's phone number or reference, and posts the payment to the matching student record automatically.

Can parents see their own payment history?

Yes. Each time a payment is recorded, the parent receives a WhatsApp confirmation with the amount and running balance. You can also generate and share a PDF fee clearance certificate for students who are fully paid.

Is my school's data secure?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Each school's data is completely isolated — no other school can see your records. We never sell or share your data with third parties.

What if I need help getting started?

We offer hands-on onboarding for every new school. Once you sign up, reach us on WhatsApp at +254 746 353 411 or email support@elimupay.co.ke and we will walk you through setup step by step.
