Product tour · Every surface, in plain English

One platform, three jobs done well.

Parents see what they owe and pay it. Bursars see who paid and who didn’t. Owners see the school’s books closing on time, term after term. Below is a tour of the surfaces that get you there.

Daily settlements
01 — Parent portal

The parent app feels like a wallet, not a bill.

Parents sign in on their phone, see a balance per child, top up from MoMo or bank transfer, and the next term’s invoice settles itself. No queues, no paper receipts, no “sorry I forgot.”

  • One login, every child
    A single parent account holds every kid enrolled at the school, with a wallet and invoice list per child.
  • Top up from MoMo or bank
    Mobile money transfers settle instantly. Bank transfers and manual top-ups (cash at the school office) are reconciled the same day.
  • Auto-pay against invoices
    When a top-up lands, it pays the oldest outstanding invoice first. No parent action required.
  • Real receipts, printable
    Every payment generates a receipt the parent can save or print, with the school’s branding and tax info.
02 — Bursar console

The bursar finally sees the term, not just the day.

Students, invoices, payments, fees, classes — one dashboard the bursar can run a school year from. No more spreadsheets named “final_FINAL_v3.xlsx.”

Students & classes

Roster, sorted by class

Add students one at a time or import a CSV. Move them up at year-end with the rollover wizard. Tag siblings so payments can be pooled.

Fees

Fee structures & plans

Set tuition by class and term, add per-student plans (installments, scholarships, discounts), and Manabi turns the rest into invoices.

Invoices

Generated, not typed

Bulk-generate invoices for a class or the whole school. Edit individual ones. Mark overdue, apply late fees, or carry arrears forward.

Payments

See the money land in real time

Every MoMo, bank, and manual payment lands here, matched to a parent and invoice. Filter by date, rail, status. Refund or reverse with one click.

Reports

Collected, outstanding, overdue

Aging buckets at a glance: paid, partial, overdue 30/60/90. Class-level totals, parent-level totals, term-level totals. Export anything to CSV.

Parents

One profile, every kid

See a parent’s full history — every child, every payment, every conversation thread. Send an invite, resend an OTP, or reset their access.

03 — Owner controls

Bursars run the term. Owners run the school.

The Owner role unlocks the high-stakes controls — academic years, year-end rollover, staff & roles, payout accounts, and the audit log. Touch what bursars shouldn’t.

Academic years

Open, close, roll over

Define the current year and its terms. When the year ends, run the rollover wizard: students move up a class, arrears carry forward, the previous year is locked.

Staff & roles

Invite the right people

Three roles: Owner (you), Bursar (full operations), Read-only (review-only). Invitations go out by email; the first login uses OTP to set a password.

Settlements & payout

Decide where the money lands

Set your school’s bank or MoMo merchant account. Settlements run daily; payout reports show exactly which payments funded which deposit.

Audit log

Every sensitive action, recorded

Who created an invoice, who waived a fee, who exported a CSV. Searchable, exportable, and immutable.

04 — Payments

Two rails. Same reconciled ledger.

We meet parents where they pay — mobile money for the majority, bank transfer for the rest — and walk every cedi back to an invoice and a settlement.

Rail

Mobile money

MTN MoMo, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo. Push-to-pay from the parent portal, or USSD payments matched by reference.

Rail

Bank transfer

Ghana’s major banks via GIP. Bank statements reconcile against expected references nightly.

Rail

Manual top-ups

The school office can record cash or cheque payments. They appear in the same ledger as any other rail.

Operation

Daily settlement

Funds settle to your chosen payout account daily. Each settlement is itemised down to the parent and invoice.

Operation

Refunds & reversals

Issue a refund to the original rail. Reversed payments restore the invoice balance and post to the audit log.

Operation

Reconciliation

Mismatched payments are flagged for review; nothing is silently dropped or auto-allocated incorrectly.

05 — Getting started

Register your school in a few minutes.

One short form: school details, the owner’s contact, and you’re in. Address autocomplete fills in the location. The logo is optional. We’ll email the owner an OTP for the first sign-in.

    Name, contact info, address — pick from Google Places and the city, country, and coordinates auto-fill.
  2. 02

  4. 04
    Invite your team
    Bring in bursars and read-only staff. They set their own password via OTP on first sign-in.
06 — Trust posture

Money software has to be boring on the things that matter.

Roles enforced at every endpoint. Audit log on every sensitive action. Sessions are JWT with refresh; passwords are never logged or echoed. Settlement records are immutable once issued.

Book a 30-minute walkthrough. We’ll set up a sandbox with a copy of your fee structure and one class of test parents, so the demo feels real, not generic.
