Is your university ready for the future of payments?

Lower your costs

Educational institutions are challenged with tight budgets. There are many ways to lower your costs and improve revenue management. You may consider card payments just another cost of operating a university. But what if you could offset those costs?

Affordably expand payment options with fee acceptance programs

Service fees are revenue neutral and can enable your organization to better control costs associated with payment acceptance. By charging the cardholder a service fee on non-cash transactions, your university can eliminate the cost of acceptance fees.

Our Convenience Fees program can help offset costs associated with payments in card-not-present

environments, such as over the phone, mobile app or online. By leveraging convenience fees, universities can keep up with student demands for digital payment options while better controlling operating expenses.
