Why it matters
Collecting tuition is the part of the month nobody enjoys. A returned payment found late becomes an awkward conversation and sometimes a write-off.
Centerly collects by bank draft or card, tells you the same day when something fails, and gives you the next step.
In practice
Collect
Autopay draws each family's balance by bank draft or card on your billing date.
Catch
A returned payment appears the same day with the bank's reason.
Recover
Retry on a chosen date, split the amount in two, or use the family's other payment method.
Payments in 6 screens
See every tuition dollar land
What has been collected, what is still in transit and what came back, with each deposit matched to your bank account.
Parents pay in two taps
The balance, the saved bank account and one button. With autopay on, most families never think about tuition again.
A returned payment, caught the same day
You see the bank's reason the day it comes back, and you can retry on a date, split the amount or use the card on file.
Checks and money orders go on the ledger too
Record a cashier's check against the family account with its check number and deposit date, so the books match the bank.
One ledger per family, always in balance
Every charge, discount, credit and payment in date order with a running balance, so any question from a parent has a quick answer.
Tax statements parents can get themselves
Each family's year-end statement is ready in the app with your school's tax ID, so January is not a month of receipt requests.
