Every term opening brings the same struggle: hundreds of M-Pesa messages, bank slips on the bursar's desk, and days spent matching each payment to the right learner. Mzizi removes that work.

Parents pay to the school's Paybill using the learner's admission number. The payment posts to the correct student account the moment it lands, the receipt goes out automatically on WhatsApp or SMS, and the fee balance updates itself. Your bursar sees mismatches the same day — not at the end of the month.

Mzizi works with M-Pesa, with banks (including our KCB Bank partnership), and with cash entries — all reconciled in one place, audit-ready.

Pay by Paybill, Post Automatically

The admission number ties every M-Pesa payment to the right learner. No retyping, no lost payments.

Automatic Receipts

The moment a payment lands, the parent gets a receipt on WhatsApp or SMS with a PDF attached — no staff action needed.

Same-Day Reconciliation

Unmatched or unusual payments are flagged immediately so the bursar resolves them while the trail is fresh.

Fee Reminders That Get Paid

Send reminders with the learner's fee statement attached and a Pay Now button that goes straight to payment.

Common Questions

How do parents pay school fees through M-Pesa?

The parent goes to Lipa na M-Pesa, enters the school's Paybill number, and uses the learner's admission number as the account number. Mzizi posts the payment to that learner's account instantly.

What if a parent enters the wrong admission number?

The payment is not lost. It appears in the unmatched list, where the bursar can assign it to the right learner in a few clicks — with a full record of the correction.

Does it work with banks too?

Yes. Bank payments — including through our KCB Bank partnership — and cash entries reconcile in the same place as M-Pesa, so the books always agree.

Do parents get receipts?

Yes, automatically. When a payment lands, the parent receives a receipt on WhatsApp or SMS, with the PDF attached.
