Fees and finance
Fees, invoices and receipts in exact naira amounts
Natial Schools helps your bursar keep fee schedules, invoices, payments and receipts in one place. Fees are recorded and tracked in Natial today. Online payment is in a limited pilot, described below.
Schedules and invoices
Set up fee schedules for your classes and terms, then raise invoices for pupils. Amounts are stored and added up as exact naira amounts.
Payments wait for confirmation
When a payment is recorded it stays pending and does not change any balance. Once someone confirms it, the payment is applied and a numbered receipt is issued. A payment can be rejected, or reversed after confirmation, so mistakes are corrected on the record instead of hidden.
Parents see the position
Parents see their child’s invoices, payments and balance in the parent portal. Pupils can see their own fee position when the school switches on pupil sign-ins.
An audit trail for money
Recording, confirming, rejecting and reversing a payment are each written to the audit trail with who did it and when.
Pilot
Online payment is in pilot
Parents at one pilot school can pay online through Paystack test mode: card checkout, verification on Natial’s server before any balance changes, confirmation with a numbered receipt, and safe handling when a checkout fails or is abandoned. Only test transactions run through it. No real money moves until live operation is approved, and we have set no date for that. Until then, every school records fees through the bursar.
