Challenges Facing the Education Industry

Reduce Fee Collection and Reconciliation Work.

Term fees and one-off charges create a steady flow of payment reminders and reconciliation work for your office.

Make Term Fees Easier to Manage
Spread fees across scheduled instalments rather than collecting one large payment at the start of term.
Collect Excursion and Activity Fees
Send payment links for camps, excursions and uniforms, and track which families have paid.
Match Payments to Each Family
Use unique BPAY references to automatically match incoming payments to the right family account.

What Australian businesses say

4.7 on Google

Maddy from the Pay Advantage Support Team was brilliant. Onboarding I had lots of little questions, and Maddy always answered promptly and thoroughly. It was nice to be able to direct my questions to a real person, also the same person each time, thus avoiding me re-explaining everything as with other inferior businesses. A great experience overall, thanks Maddy.

FAQ

Education Fee Payment FAQs

Can we set fees for a single term?

Yes. Set up a fixed-term direct debit agreement to collect fees during the term or semester. Payments stop at the end of the agreed schedule.

Can families set up fee payments and sign terms online?

Families can enter their payment details and authorise a fee schedule online through Direct Debit Plans. Attach your enrolment terms with Digital Agreements to collect a signature in the same process.

Can we charge an enrolment fee?

Yes. Set a one-off starting amount on the direct debit for the enrolment fee, before scheduled term payments begin.

Can each family have its own BPAY reference?

Yes. With BPAY enabled, you receive a biller code and each customer has a unique reference number. Payments are automatically matched to the corresponding family account.

What happens if a fee payment fails?

You receive a notification and can send the family a link to pay the outstanding amount. Direct debits pause automatically after consecutive failed payments, and affected accounts appear in your billing-issues view.
