New Payment Options for April 2020 

Dear Parents,

We do hope all of you and your families are well and coping as best as you can in these difficult times. A few months ago, none of us could have imagined the incredible impact Covid-19 would have on Egypt and the rest of the world. As a school we take great pride in our community of students and parents and we thank you so much for the many messages of encouragement and support for our teachers and the on-line programs they have implemented and for our Wellbeing site. This is a time when we all have to work together in the best interests of the children and you have shown true commitment.

April is the time when we ask parents to pay a down-payment on next year’s fees. The reason we have not requested the payment until now is because we have been focusing on setting up a better online payment system for parents. As you are aware, we have been very active in adding new technology features/services to the school app this year and an online payment portal was one of the improvements we were planning for next year, however, due to the current circumstance we made a determined effort to make it happen sooner rather than later.

So, we are now very pleased to announce our partnership with the Payfort, an Amazon company which will facilitate the online payment system gateway and offer the choice of  online instalment plans. We felt we had to try and find a way to help and support parents at this difficult time and this system gives you the option to choose to pay fees at your own pace and convenience.

First of all, everyone is going to receive an invoice from the school by SMS and email. The April payment is EGP30,000.

So, what are the different ways you can pay? 

1. From Home: when you receive the invoice you can pay via the Payfort link by credit card(in full) or by instalments. The on-line instalment scheme currently works with 5 banks in Egypt: CIB, Alex Bank, Mashreq, Emirates NBD and Bank Misr. (payment in full or in instalments)

2. From Home: if you prefer you can pay by bank transfer. Please send an email to fees@alsson.com and request the payment form. Please choose which bank you wish to transfer to in your email. We accept transfers to QNB, CIB, NBE, Bank Misr, Mashreq, United National Bank  and soon HSBC –  (payment in full)

3. In School: if you prefer you can pay in cash or by credit card. We are open daily from 9.00am to 1.00pm. (payment in full)

We hope the Payfort payment plan is helpful. Please give this payment your attention no later than 25th May.

You will find a copy of this letter on our website under ‘Announcements’ along with a tutorial  and a video explaining the scheme (hyperlink here)

More details about the online payment can be found on our webpage under admissions, under online payment.

With all best wishes,

El Alsson School – NewGiza
