Benefits

ParentPay Login is a cashless payment system designed to make life simpler for parents by making payment for school meals, trips and activities online. Furthermore, this tool helps track payment histories and automate recurring bills with just a single click.

ParentPay also provides a secure environment for processing payment details, using leading technology to encrypt transactions so only the school can view them. Furthermore, ParentPay never requests sensitive data like passwords or card numbers from parents.

ParentPay can help schools reduce paper “waste”, streamline banking procedures, and generate additional revenue via donations online.

Parents who prefer cash payments can still do so at local convenience stores that feature the PayPoint sign, and payments made will be recorded and stored by ParentPay so you can view them by logging into your account or viewing payment history online. This way, no longer must pupils bring cash with them to school, reducing risk and theft.

Scalability

ParentPay can accommodate any size school, academy trust or local authority – from single schools to multi-academy trusts or entire authorities. It easily integrates with existing management information systems for smooth implementation for new schools while eliminating duplicate data entry. Group Manager allows Trust finance teams to upload unique accounting codes for each school directly onto central settlement statements – eliminating manual checks of individual spreadsheets while mitigating potential coding errors.

ParentPay and Comic Relief have collaborated since 2016, helping parents donate securely to this incredible cause.

Easy to use
