After-school programs, camps, lessons and tutoring bill by the month, the term or the class, and collecting from busy families takes more time than it should. With Finli from your bank or credit union, families pay online or on autopay, receipts go out automatically, and payments settle in your account.

What gets in the way

Collecting from busy families

Cash, checks and app transfers arrive at drop-off, and staff spend hours matching payments to students.

Fees beyond tuition

Registration, materials, trips and performances each add separate charges that are easy to miss.

Part-time instructors

Programs often pay instructors as contractors, which means W-9s and year-end totals to keep track of.

For banks and credit unions

Enrichment programs are often small, family-run businesses with steady seasonal collections and close ties to local schools and families. A branded tuition and fee program moves their payments off cash and payment apps and into an operating account at your institution, and introduces your brand to the families who pay.

Where these businesses grow next

  • Business savings
  • Business credit card
  • Small business term loans

Keeps signed enrollment forms and waivers on each family's record alongside payment history, so the program can find them when it needs them.

Common questions

Can families pay monthly instead of all at once?
Yes. Set tuition as a recurring invoice and families can turn on autopay by bank account or card. Bank payments are always free.
Can we charge for one-off events?
Yes. Create a Pay-by Link for a field trip, recital or camp and share it by email or text. Each payment appears on the family's record.
Can we record cash paid at drop-off?
Yes. Record cash and checks as offline payments so each family's balance stays accurate.
