Bank Connections

The school’s bank and its books, on one line.

NuPay connects to the bank by API, so every deposit and payment arrives in the school’s books on its own, matched to the right student and invoice. The money stays in the school’s account. NuPay only reads it.

  • Live bank feed, no statement exports
  • Funds settle in the school’s own account, never with NuPay
  • Open to banks that want to serve schools better

A live link to ZB Bank

NuPay is integrated with ZB Bank by API. A school that banks there sees every account it runs in one place, updated without anyone downloading a statement.

How a connection works

The bank reports. NuPay does the bookkeeping.

The connection carries information about transactions. It does not carry money.

  1. 1

    The school gives consent

    The school authorises NuPay to read the accounts it chooses.

  2. 2

    Transactions arrive

    Each deposit and payment comes through with its date, amount and reference.

  3. 3

    NuPay matches

    References, amounts and names are matched to students and invoices. Expenses are categorised.

  4. 4

    Everything updates

    The ledger, the student balance and the parent portal change together.

Where the money goes

Straight to the school’s bank. Nowhere else.

NuPay is not a wallet and not a holding account. Parents pay, the bank settles into the school’s own account, and NuPay reads the transaction to keep the books right.

  • NuPay never holds school funds. There is no balance sitting with us waiting to be paid out.
  • The school stays the account holder. Signatories, limits and approvals remain exactly as the bank set them.
  • The bank stays the record of truth. NuPay reconciles to the bank, not the other way round.
For banks

Schools bank with you. Let their books run on you too.

A school that can see its bank account inside its accounting system has little reason to move it. NuPay invites banks to connect, so the schools you serve get live feeds, automatic matching and clean books on top of the account they already hold with you.

What a connection needs

We work to your API and your security standards, not the other way round.

Transactions
Date, amount, currency, reference and narration for each account
Accounts
The accounts the school has authorised, and nothing beyond them
Access
Read-only to begin with. No ability to move funds.
Consent
Given by the school, as your account holder, and revocable by them

You can still run your school on NuPay

A live feed depends on your bank. Until yours is connected, NuPay still does the rest of the work.

  1. 1

    Online payments still match

    Fees paid through the payment gateway are matched to the student and invoice automatically, whichever bank the school uses.

  2. 2

    Record the rest in NuPay

    Bank deposits, cash and swipe payments are captured against the student, and the books stay complete.

  3. 3

    Tell us your bank

    We’ll approach them. The more schools ask, the sooner a bank connects.

FAQs

Which banks does NuPay connect to?

NuPay is integrated with ZB Bank by API for live bank feeds. More banks are being added, and availability depends on your financial institution.

Does NuPay hold or move the school’s money?

No. Money settles directly into the school’s own bank account. NuPay reads the transaction so it can match it and keep the books.

What can NuPay see?

The transactions on the accounts the school has authorised: date, amount, reference and narration. That is what it needs to match a payment to a student and invoice.

Our bank is not connected. Can we still use NuPay?

Yes. Online payments through the payment gateway are still matched automatically, and bank deposits can be recorded in NuPay. Tell us who you bank with and we will approach them.

We are a bank. How do we connect with NuPay?

Get in touch and we will set up a conversation with your digital or corporate banking team. We scope the integration against your API and security standards, test it, pilot it with one school, then open it to every school that banks with you.

What does a bank gain from connecting?

Fees settle and stay in accounts at your bank, the school’s daily bookkeeping runs on your feed, and your bank is named as connected wherever schools use NuPay.

Is the same API used for online payments?

Online payments run through a separate integration with the payment gateway. Both lead to the same place: the money in the school’s bank, and the payment matched in NuPay.

One connection. Books that keep themselves.
