Smarter, simpler, more secure payments

"With ParentPay, we have easily gained the benefits we thought we could at the outset. We have saved countless hours of time by no longer dealing with cash. Parents can access balances 24/7 and get text and email alerts; helping ensure school debt has gone from thousands to less than a hundred pounds most weeks."

"With ParentPay, everything is in one place. We’ve seen a reduction in the amount of wasted admin time (eliminating the need to count money, reducing paperwork, and removing any trips to the bank). Parents and carers now have everything in one place, too – they receive all communications through ParentPay: consent to trips, payment for items, and so on."

"ParentPay is a progressive, forward-thinking product that suits our needs and I believe it will continue to do so as technology and time progress."

"Cost was a factor in our decision-making process, but we also wanted a system that was accurate and easy to use for both parents and staff.”

"Ease of use, how the software looked and performed was important, coupled with its compatibility with our cashless till system in the canteen and SIMS. Other deciding factors were ParentPay’s value for money and the support we would receive, both during the set up and down the line. This ensured the process ran as smoothly as possible."

"The new process for trips is brilliant for both parents and the trip organiser, asking for consent, passport information, trip questions, etc – all on one site. No need for additional forms sent to parents."

"Another major benefit is the ability to have a clear record and audit trail of who has and hasn’t paid. This has made debt collection much easier and has resulted in reduced debt."

"We no longer have to rely on students handing cheques in and easier reporting has made collecting payments much simpler for us."

"Our school launched ParentPay and going cashless with dinner payments has been amazing! Dinner money is centrally banked and settled directly to the LA, making the process so much more efficient for everyone. We can record meal attendance, and pupil balances are automatically debited to reflect this. The system also recognises which pupils are eligible for UIFSM or FSM and ensures they are not charged."

"We’ve only been using ParentPay for a few weeks – but the benefits are being felt already!"

"ParentPay is far more efficient and has enabled us to monitor spend more closely."

"ParentPay is a useful tool. We can use it to communicate with parents, reducing postage costs, enabling parents to link their children to one account even if they are at different schools and keep control of what their children are spending in the canteen, and it allows us to run a very successful canteen and efficient finance office."
