Reach parents where they already are
Connect the school's own WhatsApp Business number to BUMA. Receipts, payment reminders and notices are sent automatically under your school's name — alongside app notifications and email.

Questions
Which number do we need?
A number not used in the WhatsApp app — a new SIM is easiest. It must receive one SMS or call to verify.
Who pays for messages?
Meta charges a small amount per conversation directly to the school's WhatsApp account.
Can we keep using WhatsApp on our phone?
