Direct debit for schools

Direct debit makes tuition predictable, automated, and quietly reliable. So learning stays front and center — not admin.

Key features

BECS Direct Debit with digital signature

Students sign digitally when setting up BECS Direct Debit, reducing disputes and giving everyone peace of mind. It’s secure, paperless, and fully compliant.

PayTo support

Real-time payment agreements through PayTo—no paperwork, no delays. Students can check, manage, or cancel their agreement anytime, directly from their banking app.

No failed payment fees

If a payment doesn’t go through, we don’t charge the student. Instead, we notify them and give flexible options to complete the payment another way.

Smart retries

If a payment fails, we automatically try again up to three times—gently spaced over a few days. No pressure, no penalties—just more chances to stay on track.

Instant visibility for your school

Track payment status in real time—no more chasing receipts or wondering what’s been paid. You’ll always know where things stand.

Paperless, student-friendly onboarding

No forms to print, scan, or email. Students sign up digitally in just a few taps, on any device, from anywhere in the world.

Built-in reminders

Students get gentle reminders before their payments are due—automated, timely, and branded for your institution.

Bank-grade security

We use secure, encrypted channels and comply with Australia’s strict payment standards. Your data—and your students’—stay safe, always.

Why it matters

A late payment isn’t just a delay. It can mean enrollment stress, visa issues, blocked results — even course withdrawal.

Families feel it. Students feel it. And you do too.

Direct debit makes tuition predictable, automated, and quietly reliable. So learning stays front and center — not admin.

Real-time certainty with PayTo

PayTo takes direct debit to the next level. Bank-verified, instant payment agreements — no paperwork, no lag.

It’s secure, smart, and deeply trusted by the Australian financial system. And yes — we’ve built it right into our platform.

Let’s talk outcomes

For your school or university:

  • Reliable revenue flow
  • Lower admin costs
  • Stronger operational rhythm

For your admissions team:

  • Less follow-up, more follow-through
  • Higher trust with families and schools
  • A payment journey you can actually stand behind

For your students:

  • Fewer worries
  • More control
  • No missed deadlines

Manual payments don’t scale

Spreadsheets. Bank transfers. Card declines. Email reminders. That’s not a system — that’s a pile of problems waiting to happen.

Direct debit scales with your institution. As your student base grows, payments stay simple and sustainable.

One agreement. That’s it.

No extra logins. No reconciling transfers. No card expiry issues.

Just a clear, agreed-upon schedule — set once, handled automatically. You stay in control, without micromanaging every transaction.

We handle the heavy lifting

Setup is fast. Integration is easy. You don’t need to rebuild anything — we slot into what you already use.

From student onboarding to automated reminders, it all just works. Quietly. Reliably. In the background.

A signal that says more

Direct debit isn’t just a feature. It’s a quiet signal that your school is organized, respectful, and ready.

It shows your systems work for real people — not just internal processes. It creates trust before the first invoice is even sent.

Common questions

  • BECS is the traditional direct debit system used in Australia. With us, students sign digitally, which reduces disputes. PayTo is a newer, faster system that lets students authorize and manage payments in real time from their banking app. We support both, so you can choose what works best.

  • Yes—especially with PayTo. Students can cancel directly through their banking app at any time. With BECS, they can request cancellation through the student portal. In both cases, we notify the you immediately.

  • We don’t charge penalty fees or punish students. Instead, we send a friendly notification and offer them alternative payment options—credit card, bank transfer, whatever works best.

  • Nope. Everything is digital—from signature to setup. No printers, no scanning, no manual handling.

  • You get real-time access to payment status through our dashboard. You’ll know when a payment is scheduled, paid, or delayed—with no guessing.

  • No hidden fees. No charges for failed payments. No nasty surprises.

  • Yes. Students living overseas can set up direct debit or PayTo as long as they have an Australian bank account. We make the process smooth, fast, and mobile-friendly.
