Payment Solutions for Education Providers

Simplify fee collection, reduce admin and stay PCI DSS compliant.

Schools, colleges, universities and training providers manage a wide range of payments: tuition fees, trips, accommodation, activities and account top-ups. Handling these manually creates admin overhead, reconciliation challenges and compliance risk.

SOTpay provides a PCI DSS compliant, multichannel payment platform designed for education.

Collect fees securely, automate recurring payments and allow parents and students to pay easily.
