A stipend is not automatically exempt from tax or employment obligations. Its treatment depends on the arrangement. Where payroll treatment is required, it must be resolved before the batch is finalised.

Common questions

Can you prepare monthly and once-off stipends?

Yes. Recurring and once-off stipend support is available, with service requirements agreed for your programme.

Does Patuza decide a learner's stipend entitlement?

No. Your organisation approves entitlement and amounts. Patuza prepares the payments from those authorised instructions and flags exceptions.

Who releases the stipend payments?

Your organisation uploads and authorises the bank file in its own banking platform. Patuza does not hold or transfer programme funds.
