Schools benefit from online payments

Online payments help thousands of schools throughout the UK to better manage and collect money from parents for school meals, trips, activities and uniforms.

Still processing cheques and cash?

Despite the many benefits of implementing an online payment system, there are still some schools, particularly smaller schools that are yet to benefit from online payments and going fully cashless.

If your school still only accepts cash or cheque, please read our top three reasons for moving to an online payment system. There are real time-saving and security benefits if you switch to online payments.

1. Reduces school workload

Online payment systems significantly reduce administrative workload, helping take away the hassle of sorting out money in person.  Trips, uniforms, revision resources, clubs and school lunches can all be paid for online.

2. Makes it easier for parents to pay

Online payment systems provide parents with more options. Gone are the days of having to scramble around for loose change. Parents can now pay by debit and credit cards, manage all their payments online and even set up recurring payments. The platform can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

3. Less cash in school

By managing finances online, schools no longer have to hold cash on school premises. It also puts parent’s minds at ease as children no longer need to carry cash around with them. Parents can pay for everything in advance online.
