PASS: Pay At School System
PASS, the Pay At School System, provides the ability to support face-to-face transactions in-district, for any student from any school. It helps schools collects cash, check, and credit card payments (PCI compliant) for face-to-face transactions, including non-student-associated transactions like clubs and donations. With PASS, your district has the ability to look up student information, read necessary notes, view required fees, and process payments – all while speaking with a parent face-to-face. Because PASS interacts seamlessly with PaySchools Central, any fees paid in-person are also automatically reflected online. This gives our districts the ability to accept any payment, anytime, anywhere.

SPS EZpay
Information Design, the parent of SPS EZpay™, was founded in 1993 as a technical consulting and application development firm specializing in the areas of IBM and Microsoft technologies. Due to their excellent reputation for advanced technical knowledge and a track record of satisfied clients, they were asked to assist several districts with the development of an online student payment portal. These districts had found that while there were many online pre-payment systems, they were typically just a module off the lunch system or the SMS system, and districts wanted an application that they could control. The result is SPS EZpay. SPS EZpay is designed for districts to not simply take in revenue via the web but do so in a way that is fully integrated into the district’s lunch, SMS, adult education, and revenue accounting systems. In addition, we understand that districts are in the business of educating students, and may not have the resources to properly implement the leading-edge technologies we provide. That is why we offer on-site implementation support at no extra cost to our member districts. We are proud of the number of districts that have placed their trust in us and we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to continue earning their trust every day through superior products, outstanding technical support, and a commitment to our partnerships with them. We also appreciate the growing number of SMS and child nutrition vendors that are partnered with SPS EZpay. Through working with us, they demonstrate recognition of the strategic needs of districts and a desire to help meet those needs. We are an Ohio-based company that understands what is critical and unique to the success of school districts, and we provide it each and every day!
