Built for Kenyan schools
PayDesk runs fee collection, transport and parent communication for Kenyan schools. Payments match themselves to the right invoice, cascade to whatever is still outstanding, and anything that cannot be matched is flagged — not buried until end of term.

Sample data
Each M-Pesa payment finds its invoice, then cascades to whatever is still outstanding. Anything that cannot be matched is flagged for the bursar, and Fee Risk Profiles show which accounts are drifting before term ends.

We do the data migration. Your bursar's week carries on while we do.
Students, fee balances and staff come across from your spreadsheets or current system. We do the migration, so nobody retypes a register.
Fee structures, class streams, transport routes and who can see what. All of it is configured in the admin screens, with our team alongside you.
Billing, transport, academics and parent messages run from one dashboard, and staff get an onboarding session before the first invoice goes out.
The quote depends on your enrolment and which modules you switch on. CBC, 8-4-4, IGCSE and IB are configured during onboarding on the Day and Boarding plans, with no separate curriculum fee.
