Fee payment in Fedena 3.5 through mobile

There were 1.5 Billion smartphone users in 2014 and that’s expected to grow to 2.5 billion by 2019. While computers/desktops are 1.6 billion in 2015 and expected to reach 2 billion by 2019. Smartphones are replacing traditional desktop and laptops at a rapid pace. Users are getting aligned to using smartphones day by day. The growth in smartphones has made service providers develop mobile-centric user experience for users. Fee collection and payment is one of the most used features in Fedena and we couldn’t ignore the feedbacks from our customers to make Fedena more mobile friendly.

In Fedena 3.5 we have incorporated fee payment through mobiles. Students and parents can check their fee details, pay fees online, and print the fee receipts–all from their mobile phones. Through the mobile, fees can be paid on the go and unlike the desktop or laptop which demands a working space. This makes fee payment easier for parents / guardians. In case a parent is abroad and travelling and it’s the last date of fee payment, in such a scenario that parent can pay the fee with the help of this module. The user interface of fee payment in Fedena is completely mobile friendly so that users have a hassle free experience.

Click on ‘Pay Fee’ button which will direct you to the payment page. Here there are multiple options for payment.
