Payschool - the smarter way for parents to pay for school meals, trips and expenses

Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- With the outcome of the Spending Review anticipated on October 20th, UK schools are facing increasing challenges to their stretched budgets and are seeking productivity gains from back office functions.

However when it comes to collecting small value payments from parents, many schools are still using traditional methods of cash or cheques – a highly inefficient and high cost solution.

Payschool from Webanywhere is an online e-payments solution that enables parents and carers to make school payments on the internet for school catering, events and sundry expenses such as donations, tuition fees and school uniforms.

All Payschool transactions are securely managed by a well known global payments processing organisation and are reconciled electronically to the school's chosen destination bank account, providing parents and schools with an audit trail for payments that have been, or require to be made.

As Payschool is an online system, parents or carers can make payments from anywhere with an Internet connection. All major credit and debit cards can be registered on the system to make payments.

Payschool is another example of Webanywhere’s web based education technology that can save schools money and deliver productivity gains.
