School Tuition
Accept Credit Cards for School Tuition Payments at No Cost to You Your Students and Parents are Asking to Pay Their School Tuition Bills by Credit or Debit Card - But you can not afford to pay the cost of accepting credit card payments - usually about 3% of the total payment. To make matters worse, your credit card contract, and in some states specific state laws, will not allow you to charge any extra fees of your customers who pay with credit cards. As an Online Payment Gateway We Can Absorb the Cost of the Card Transaction – Simply Easier Payments is an independent third party payment acceptance company. As such we are legally allowed by the credit card companies and state laws to charge the person making the credit card payment a reasonable “Convenience Fee”. You Receive the Full School Tuition Payment. We pay all transactions cost out of the “Convenience Fee”. You pay nothing. Here’s How it Works… Online - Your Web Site You add a link to your web page - this could also be a "Make Payment Online" button. Your students or parents enter the payment information and actively check the “Accept Convenience Fee” check box. The credit or debit card is charged in real time. Payment made. Online - Our Web Site We can add you to our makemonthlypayments.com site. You inform your students and parents that school tuition payments for you can be made through that site. On the Phone with Your Staff Your staff enters the payment information, explains the Convenience Fee (we can give you the script to do that) and checks the “Accept Convenience Fee” check box for your student or parent when they verbally agree. The credit or debit card is charged in real time. Payment made. When Do You Get the Money? All money is handled by our banking partner Moneris. 1. After closing, on the day the payment is made, the bank that issued the card funds the money into Moneris’ account. NOTE: If you have your depository account with either RBC Centura or Harris Bank, sister companies of Moneris, you will get your funding one day earlier – next business day. Simply Easier Payments and Moneris are partnered to help you provide better service to your students and their parents at no cost to you. Automated Billing of Monthly Payments In addition to taking payments online and over the phone, we can also automatically bill your student's monthly payments. We can also set this up for automated weekly payments. Save and Secure Storage of Credit Card Information The Credit Card Association has very strict PCI Data Security Standards with which you must comply if you maintain credit card data on file. In addition the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act has customer privacy restrictions you must comply with. When you use our service to store this information securely online you effectively pass almost all of these liabilities to us. All of our systems are fully compliant with these standards. We employ a full time staff whose only responsibility is keeping our service fully compliant with these and other security issues as they change.
