NuPay is school accounting and fee management, built in Zimbabwe for the way schools here are actually paid. It takes a payment from the moment it lands to the moment the books balance, without a bursar re-typing any of it.
A parent pays school fees by EcoCash on a Sunday night. On Monday the bursar sees a deposit with half a name and no reference. Which student is it for? Which invoice? Which of the school’s bank accounts should it have gone to? Multiply that by every family and every term, and you have the real work of a school accounts office.
Schools have never been short of ways to collect money. What they have lacked is a system that knows what to do with it once it arrives: match it to the student, apply it to the invoice, post it to the ledger, reconcile it to the bank and show the parent the new balance.
General accounting software does not know what a student, a term or a boarding fee is. School systems that take payments usually stop at a receipt. The gap between the two is filled with spreadsheets, proof-of-payment screenshots and long nights before the audit.
NuPay was built to close that gap. It is proper double-entry accounting that already understands schools, connected directly to the bank and the payment gateway, so the bookkeeping happens as the money moves.
NuPay never holds school funds. Payments settle in the school’s own bank account, and NuPay reads the transaction.
Every payment should end up against a student and an invoice, automatically wherever possible.
Double-entry underneath, accrual and cash. On top, screens a bursar can use without an accounting degree.
They open the invoice, tap Pay Online and pay. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install.
A live link to the bank, the payment gateway and student management does more than any feature working alone.
From a figure on a report, down to the journal, the payment and the student it came from.
NuPay was not adapted from somewhere else. It starts from the things a Zimbabwean school deals with every term.
NuPay is built by the same people who build NuClass, the student management system. That is why the two fit together: NuClass knows who every student is, NuPay knows what every student has paid, and each keeps the other up to date.
Students, classes, levels, sessions and the student and parent portals.
Invoicing, online payments, bank feeds, matching, the ledger and reports.
