School fees that still add up after the last parent leaves

The desk takes cash. There is no online payment, on purpose: Mobile Money at a gateway is a different product, and schools have been sold that product before the till was honest. Remora numbers a receipt at the desk. The parent holds a copy. The book keeps a copy.

Charged, collected, still open. Those three numbers have to exist per child, per class, and for the school. A bursar who can only see “this morning’s cash” cannot answer a parent who asks about last term. A board pack that cannot name arrears is a story, not a pack.

Siblings arrive together. One household, one conversation, several balances. The desk has to add them without inventing a family account the school does not use. Remora keeps the children distinct and lets the bursar take them in one sitting.

The office sends the parent a private link with the receipt — on Nyocte or WhatsApp — and it opens in the browser already on the phone. Nobody installs an app to find out whether the child still owes.
