"What an ingenious solution! As a working mum this makes my life so much easier."- Parent, Hertfordshire
Create a cashless environment
ParentPay has revolutionised the way parents pay for a wide range of items from school meals to music lessons, school trips to photographs.
Instead of sending in cash or cheques, parents simply go online to a secure website to pay money to their child's school using their debit or credit card, significantly reducing your administration time, and making the whole money collection process safer and more convenient for your school as a whole.
ParentPay can even offer 'over the counter' payments for those parents that prefer to continue to pay cash using PayPoint™ at their local convenience stores.
Reduce financial administration
Designed to streamline the money collection processes in schools, ParentPay helps you respond to the National Agreement on Workforce Reform by allowing teachers to teach and administrators to concentrate on the smooth running of the school.
Subscribing to ParentPay enables you to set up items for payment and associate those items with different groups of children. Where cashless catering is installed ParentPay can link directly to the cashless system ensuring that payments made to a pupil's account are automatically updated.
All the information needed to process, manage and reconcile payments is centrally organised for you, with reports that allow you to track and monitor all payments received.
"Absolutely brilliant system that schools can't do without, we're delighted we went forward with it."- St Cecilia's CofE School Wandsworth
Transactions are carried out using the highest security with payments directed straight into the school bank account. ParentPay can even put money into different bank accounts so that funds end up where ' they need to be.
Give parents convenient ways to pay
Parents wishing to pay online can log into their own secure pages where they can see a list of items available to their child. ParentPay even keeps a history of all their past payments.
Those parents that choose to pay through PayPoint simply present their card at their local PayPoint retailer and hand over the cash. The payment is then reported to ParentPay and the school's bank credited directly.
"Finally! No more writing cheques, now I just pay online and it's out of the way."- Parent, Staffordshire
Some schools even provide a computer in reception where parents can come to use ParentPay and make their payments.
Paying online is increasingly popular as parents no longer have to give their children the responsibility of carrying cash to school. By paying when and how it suits them, parents pay faster and schools collect their money more easily.
