Secure
ParentPay allows parents to quickly and efficiently pay for school meals, trips, clubs and other expenses without the burden of carrying cash to school themselves. Furthermore, traditional methods produce paper waste which takes too long for refund processing – ParentPay addresses both issues efficiently.
ParentPay requires parents to have a valid email address, username and password (which will come via an activation letter from their school), as well as multiple accounts linked so they can pay online securely with ease. Parents with multiple children attending different schools may link these accounts so one login can be used across them all – making for convenient payments online!

Clients include primary and secondary schools, nurseries and out of school services providers; it’s used by millions of parents worldwide to pay for everything from dinner money and trips to uniforms and music tuition tuition fees.
Cashless payments
ParentPay provides schools with an innovative payment system to allow parents and carers to safely make online payments for items such as dinner money, school trips and extracurricular activities.

ParentPay uses state-of-the-art security technologies to keep parents’ card details safe. Communications between ParentPay and card companies are encrypted, ensuring no one can read it.
Schools can make the cashless payments process simpler for parents and carers by consistently promoting online payments through their website, flyers and newsletters. Doing this will foster a culture of cashless payments within their school community and accept various payment types to accelerate parent participation while reaching their cashless target faster.
