SurePay offers several benefits including; real-time processing, instant sms notifications, unique student codes, versatile payment Options, immediate fund accessibility, and auto generation of learners’ report cards, among others.
With SurePay, payments can be made through various channels, offering unparalleled convenience for both Ecobank customers and non-customers. Payment options include the Ecobank Mobile App, Quick Teller-Interswitch, over-the-counter services and ABC Agents spread across the country.
Speaking about the partnership, Grace Muliisa, Managing Director of Ecobank Uganda, expressed her excitement: “We are delighted to bring this initiative to life with SurePay. This collaboration reflects Ecobank’s commitment to digital transformation and to supporting educational institutions through innovative payment solutions. Whether you’re an Ecobank account holder or not, we strive to deliver seamless banking experiences for all.”
She further added: “By offering schools a secure and simplified payment platform, we’re not only making it easier for parents to pay school fees but also enhancing schools’ financial management by ensuring real-time fund transfers.”
