The paper was anchored theoretically on the Technology Adoption Model (TAM). The paper used cross-sectional research design embracing targeting students in private universities in Nakuru County. The sample size was 376 students selected using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using students" questionnaires and Key Informants Interview schedules. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Descriptive statistics was used to present research findings using frequencies, percentages and means displayed in tables and figures. The relationship between the study variables was tested using inferential statistics namely correlation coefficient r (349) = 0.621, p-value = 0.000 < 0.05, coefficient of regression 𝛃1 = 0.490 p-value = 0.000 < 0.05 and Chi-Square test yielded and χ2 (16, N = 182) = 62.028, p = 0.000 < 0.05. This implies that electronic funds transfer is a statistically significant effective mode of fee collection in private universities in Nakuru County.The paper recommends that the universities should invest more on research and innovation so as to continuously improve revenue generation modes.
