Simplify school payments with secure finance tools, caregiver payment options, automated billing, failed payment handling, and integrations with Xero and Ezypay.
School payments can quickly become difficult to manage when billing, caregiver communication, payment history, and financial records sit across different systems.
Helix Finance Management brings payment workflows into the wider Helix platform, helping schools manage billable items, payment options, failed payment handling, and finance integrations with less manual admin and greater confidence.
Caregivers need payment options that are simple, familiar, and secure. Helix supports flexible payments, including direct debit, Visa, and Mastercard, making it easier for families to manage school-related payments.
Through the Helix App, caregivers can also make payments and view payment history securely from their device, giving them clearer visibility and a more convenient experience.
Payments involve sensitive information, so security matters. Helix’s finance tools are designed around strong payment and data security, giving schools and caregivers confidence that payment processes are handled safely.
Because Finance Management sits within the wider Helix ecosystem, schools can manage payments as part of a connected student management system rather than relying on disconnected tools.
