For college and university finance offices

Tuition collection built for thousands of students, not dozens.

Digital tuition collection at scale, built on Ultraner’s mobile money network.

Registration week, a queue at the finance office, and a receipt book deciding who gets to enrol.

Registration week, without the queue
One student, one minute

From paid to enrolled, without a person in between.

1Monday, 09:12

Student pays

On M-Pesa, from their own phone, or a parent pays on their behalf from abroad.

209:12, same second

Payment clears

The gateway confirms and Ultraner records it against that student’s reference.

309:12, same second

Your system is told

A signed webhook hits your student information system, with the amount and the reference.

4Monday, 09:13

Enrolment opens

No slip, no counter, no queue, and no one in finance verifying anything by hand.

Students pay by mobile money, card, or bank transfer

One checkout covers every method a student might have, including a parent paying from abroad on their behalf.

Payment status ties directly to registration eligibility

A webhook tells your student system the moment tuition clears, so enrolment opens without anyone verifying a slip.

Bulk reporting for finance office audits

Export every payment with its reference, method and timestamp. The audit trail is the system of record, not a reconstruction of it.

How it works

Three steps, and you are collecting.

1Connect

Add your institution

Verify once, then create the programmes and fee structures your finance office already works with.

2Customize

Tie payment to registration

Point a webhook at your student system so a cleared payment opens enrolment, and choose which methods each programme accepts.

3Get paid

Open registration

Students pay with whatever they have, the finance office sees one reconciled list, and nobody queues at a counter to prove they paid.

Questions, answered

Make the next move clear.

Can it handle a registration-week spike?+

Yes. Payments run on the same infrastructure as every other Ultraner merchant, and status callbacks are queued and retried rather than dropped under load.

Can we connect it to our student information system?+

Yes. One REST API and signed webhooks, so a payment clearing can unlock enrolment in your own system without anyone rekeying anything.

Can different programmes have different fees?+

Yes. Products and prices are defined once, then a checkout is created straight from a price, so each programme keeps its own amount without new code.

Your operation

Registration that clears itself.

One payment layer for the way the people you deal with already move money.

Your next move

Start in the sandbox. Go live when you are ready.

Test keys work from the first minute and never touch real money, real gateways, or your live webhooks.
