Transaction Process

All you have to do as a registered member to pay academic fees in Kenya through our e-Payment service is the following steps (after configuring your online members account to list your beneficiaries/dependants):

• select the recipient of the academic fees using their account number
• specify the amount to be paid to the relevant academic institution
• repeat the above steps for as many of your beneficiaries as you desire
• confirm that you have enough funds to activate the entire transaction
• if not enough funds, deposit money in our bank account for activation

Upon activation, we shall complete the transactions on your behalf and inform the beneficiary via email that their academic fees have been paid by you for them.

We shall then update the above online transaction with the relevant receipt details – basically the receipt number issued to us by the academic institution being paid.

Transaction Fees

We charge you a nominal fee of KShs. 72.50 (approx. US$ 1) for each academic fee payment you instruct us to make on your behalf. In addition to this, there is a funds transfer fee of KShs. 725/- (approx. US$ 10) charged for any deposits you make in our bank account to activate your transactions.

Needless to say, this nominal fee per academic fee payment is only cost-effective for amounts above KShs. 1,000/- (approx. US$ 14). However, the nominal fee is reduced by 50% for members who pay for an annual subscription (KShs. 17,500/- or approx. US$ 240).

Repeat Transactions

Our online transaction gateway makes it really easy for you to make routine and repeat academic fee payments for your various dependants/beneficiaries by using a template to bring up the last academic fee payment details for all your dependants/beneficiaries.

The next time you want to pay academic fees, the template lists all your dependants/beneficiaries whom you have pre-configured for academic fees and displays details of the last transaction (date and amount) to help you make a decision.
