What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a university
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a university, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A university tracks thousands of students, course enrollments, fees by program and accommodation bookings. University margins come from tuition fees minus lecturer salaries and facility costs.
Students and government authorities require detailed transcripts and fee statements. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
