Your invoices and payments

Billing shows when the centre records you as paying for a child. The centre chooses whether it bills families through KeepCount. The screens are from a demonstration centre: a fictional family and fictional amounts.

  1. Find BillingMy account has a Billing card that opens your invoices, what is owed, your payments and your receipts. On a phone, Billing is also on the bar at the foot.
  2. BillingBilling: your account with the centre, what is owed or your credit, the invoices and credit notes, and your payments.
  3. An invoiceTap an invoice: as issued, each line by child, the tax, the total and the due date. "Print" prints it; "Question about this invoice" writes to the office.
  4. A receipt for a paymentYour payments: each one with its day, how it was paid and the amount. "Receipt" prints a receipt for that payment.
  5. Your receipt for the yearYear-end receipts: choose the year, then "Print the receipt": the child care fees you paid for each child, with the centre's name, address and business number.

Paying by pre-authorized debit

When the centre takes payments through KeepCount, it can take each invoice from your bank account on the first day of the month it bills, or on a later date shown with it. These payments run in Zūm Rails' test system for now: no centre takes them through KeepCount yet.

  1. Pay by pre-authorized debit"Pay by pre-authorized debit": the centre takes each invoice from your bank, and you see the amount and the date here at least 10 days before.
  2. The debit agreement"Read the debit agreement": what may be taken and when, the 10 days' notice, cancelling, and your right to dispute a debit. "I agree" or "Not now".
  3. Connect your bankAfter "I agree", "Connect your bank": you sign in to your bank in Zūm Rails' window, and KeepCount keeps only the last four digits.
  4. Debits and requestsDebits and requests: each debit with its day, amount and status, from Scheduled to Paid. Tell the centre before the date if one is not right.
