Partnering with a bank and linking your school management system can help to simplify payment, increase productivity and efficiency of the school processes, and positively affect the experience of employees, children, and parents. The following is a detailed guide that will assist you in the right process of integrating your school management system with a bank.
Step 1: Contact Your Bank
The first thing is to contact the relevant bank and inform them of your plan to affiliate their services with your school management system. Give them a brief of your system and then show them how this integration will be of advantage to the bank as well as your school. This first meeting will lay the groundwork for the integration process that has to follow.
Step 2: Fill Out Integration Forms
After you have contacted your bank, you will also need to complete the integration forms they send to you. While filling out these forms ensure that Africa Cloud Space Ltd is the integration partner. Also, provide your school’s URL and the other API addresses that the bank will require to achieve the integration. For other banks like Equity Bank, Family Bank, and KCB Bank we already have the forms we need. All that is required is that the school fills out the form and take it to the branch manager of the school’s bank for signing.
Step 3: Schedule a Meeting
Once the integration forms are filled, arrange a meeting between your bank’s contact persons and the team from Africa Cloud Space Ltd. This meeting is important so that the integration process is initiated. At this meeting, the representatives of the bank’s IT department will be able to talk to the ACS team and set up a schedule for the integration. The process is likely to take about one week or so to accomplish depending on the intricacy of the integration work.
Step 4: Integration Completion
After the integration process has begun, ACS will also be liaising with the bank’s IT department to ensure that everything is configured properly. You will be informed of the progress continually, and upon successful integration, you will be notified by both the bank and ACS. This step is a major one because your school management system is now ready to process banking transactions.
Step 5: Notification of Completion
When the integration is done, the school will receive an email notification that the integration has been done. This e-mail will have important information on how to go about the integration of banking features in the school management system.
