Built for independent schools
Run your school's payroll and admin from one platform.
Payroll, HR, fee collection and everyday admin — brought into one WhatsApp-based platform built for how independent schools actually run.
R499/month. First month free. No training needed.

Built for how your school runs
One platform, not five disconnected systems.
Between the bursar, the SGB, and every teacher on staff, school admin usually means juggling spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and paper forms. Paylio replaces all of it with one conversation.
Run staff payroll — including extra-murals and overtime — without spreadsheets.
Let teachers request leave on WhatsApp; principals approve in seconds.
Send parent fee reminders automatically, with a secure payment link built in.
Stay POPIA, PAYE, UIF and SDL compliant, with an audit trail behind every run.
From Paylio schools
What schools say about Paylio.
“Paylio has made managing our school finances so much easier. From processing payroll for our staff to sending invoices to parents, everything is far more streamlined. The fact that we can do so much through WhatsApp is what really stands out for us — it saves time and makes the day-to-day administration much simpler.”
Lorraine MathapeloBethel Academy
“What impressed me about Paylio is that it brings together things we normally have to manage separately. Payroll is simple, invoicing parents is quick, and I don't have to spend hours trying to figure out a complicated system. It feels like Paylio was actually designed around how a school works.”
