Managing monthly recurring collection across k-12 schools is one of the most time-intensive tasks for finance teams. Paymob is one of the most reliable payment gateways for Egypt institutions — and OpenEduCat's fee management module connects to it natively. When a parent pays online, OpenEduCat marks the invoice paid, posts to the general ledger, and sends a receipt — with zero manual intervention.

How does Fawry kiosk payment work for K-12 school fees in Egypt?
OpenEduCat generates a Fawry reference code for each student's fee. Parents take this reference code to any of 280,000+ Fawry kiosk locations across Egypt — pharmacies, supermarkets, Aman kiosks, post offices. They hand over cash, the cashier enters the reference code, and Paymob notifies OpenEduCat of the payment instantly. This makes school fee collection accessible to every family in Egypt, regardless of banking status.
