About School Fees Kenya
Most Kenyan schools collect fees through a bank paybill, usually KCB or Co-operative Bank, or through Safaricom Lipa Karo, and parents pay by M-PESA, at a bank agent, on the bank app, or with a card. The golden rule is the same everywhere: you need the school's paybill or business number and the correct account, which is almost always the student's admission number. Paying fees into a Co-op school account is free, and depositing from M-PESA into a Co-op bank account is free.
