Frequently Asked Questions
How does the online school fees payment system work?
Parents log in to their dedicated portal and pay school fees, levies, and hostel charges directly via a secure bank-grade online payment gateway. Funds are settled directly into the school's bank account. The system automatically generates digital receipts and flags which students have paid and which have outstanding balances — eliminating the need for manual cash tracking.
Does the money go to Nexus-OS or to our school's account?
Payments settle directly into your school's own bank account. You are not holding float with us and there is no waiting for remittance — the school owns the money the moment the parent pays.
Can the system handle partial payments and multiple fee types?
Yes. You create any fee catalogue — tuition, uniform, books, excursion, levies, hostel — per class and term, and parents can pay in full or in instalments. The bursary dashboard tracks every balance per student in real time.
What reports does the bursary get?
Paid/defaulters lists, per-term collection summaries, receipt registers and full audit trails — plus a complete financial bookkeeping ledger you can export for accountants and school owners.
