Quick answer:
UPEI says a bank payment can take 2 to 3 business days to arrive. UPEI does not accept bill payments from National Bank. The math on this page uses $680/month as an example tuition; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.
Format: Your Student ID Number with an S in front of it (S followed by 4 to 6 characters, for example S123456); drop the leading 0 if your ID number is 7 characters. Use the Student ID Number UPEI assigned to you, with the letter S added in front; UPEI suggests typing "University" in your bank's payee search and choosing University of PEI from the list.

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% cash back on top. On a $680/month University of Prince Edward Island tuition, that's roughly $245 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same tuition.
On a $680/month tuition, a 2% cash-back card returns about $13.60/month, and Neobanc adds $6.80 on top, roughly $245 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.
Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or pre-authorized debit earns nothing; the same tuition through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $245 a year. Fees not paid in full by the deadline are subject to a $60 late fee for full-time students ($30 part-time) in the fall and winter semesters, plus interest at 0.75% per month. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
