School fees, collected.
The fee collection platform built for private schools.
A question for you
How much do parents owe your school right now?
Not roughly. Not “the bursar knows.” The exact figure, today, this minute.
If that number takes more than ten seconds to find, this conversation will be worth your time.
Fee collection today
Term after term, the same struggle
Chasing, not teaching
The first month of every term goes to calling parents and chasing lists.
Cash on the premises
Envelopes, counting errors, risky trips to the bank. Handwritten receipts, if any.
Nobody sees the full picture
Who has paid? Who still owes? The answer lives in exercise books and one person’s memory.
Disputes you can't win
A parent insists they paid in March. Without records, every dispute costs money or goodwill.
Meet Manabi
Every child invoiced. Every payment tracked. Every amount accounted for.
Bill every student
Termly fees generated for every child in every class, in minutes, not weeks.
Parents pay by mobile money
From anywhere, any network, any time. No queue at the bursar’s desk.
Money reaches your account
Payouts go to the school’s own account, with a statement for every payment.
How it works
Three steps, and the term runs itself
- 1
We set you up
Our team loads your classes, students, and fee structures with you. Your bursar is trained the same week.
- 2
Fees go out
Every parent receives their child’s bill by SMS: amount, breakdown, and how to pay.
- 3
Money comes in
Parents pay by mobile money. Receipts are automatic. The dashboard updates instantly.
For your parents
Parents who find it easy to pay, pay faster
An app with no app store
Installs from a link, works on any smartphone. Payments, receipts, and balances in one place.
Instalments that fit real life
Payment plans split the term’s fees into pieces: agreed once, tracked automatically.
No mobile money? Bank works too
Every child has a virtual account number. Bank transfers land on the right child, automatically.
A receipt every time
Numbered, instant, printable. No more “I paid but I lost the slip.”
The Manabi difference
Help can come from anywhere
All siblings, one payment
Three children in your school? One payment covers all of them, split automatically.
The auntie abroad can pay
A parent shares a link on WhatsApp. The relative pays in a minute. No account, no app.
They can pay, never view
A shared link shows first names only and never opens the child’s records. The family’s business stays private.
More people able to pay means fees paid sooner. This is where arrears genuinely fall.
For your office
The whole school’s money, on one screen
Paid vs owing, at a glance
By class, by student, by term. The ten-second answer to the question we started with.
Reminders without the awkward calls
One tap reminds every owing parent by SMS. The system never forgets, never offends.
Arrears that follow the child
Balances carry forward automatically, term to term, year to year. Nothing slips away.
Reports your accountant will love
Collections, outstanding balances, payment histories: exportable, printable, always up to date.

Your data is yours
Your records are isolated, visible to your staff alone.

A local team on the phone and on the ground, not a distant helpdesk.
