Two people, one payment, and neither can see the other's side.
Stop chasing payments.
Start seeing them.
The old way is built on WhatsApp reminders, manual spreadsheets, and end-of-day reconciliation panic. Sozo Finance changes the entire flow.
When a parent pays, the payment is verified, recorded and made visible to the school.

Previous balances
Don't lose track of what was never paid.
Previous balances don't have to disappear into spreadsheets. Sozo helps schools identify what's outstanding, organize recovery, and keep the payment record connected.
For parents
Give parents a better way to plan and pay.
Instead of waiting until school fees are due, parents can see what they need to pay, set a target and start putting money toward their child's school fees over time.

Where your money goes
Sozo never holds your school's money.
Paystack settles each payment straight to your school's own bank account. Sozo Finance has no transfer or withdrawal function over school funds anywhere in the product — there is no button that moves your money, because the app was built without one.
Where this is going
Education shouldn't become a financial emergency every term.
Schools need a clearer way to collect and manage fees. Parents need a better way to plan and pay. Sozo connects both sides — so education payments become something families and schools can manage, not something they have to keep chasing.
Give your parents a better way to pay.
Join Sozo and give your school a simpler way to collect fees, reconcile payments and help parents stay ahead of what they owe.
