Cityserve Pay has arrived at your school!

 

What is Cityserve Pay?

Birmingham City Council has partnered with sQuid Online Payments to create Cityserve Pay - a fast, convenient and secure way for you to pay for your child's school meals, trips and other offers.

Simple to set-up, simple to use

You should have received a registration letter from your child's school which contains your own unique 16 digit sQuid registration number and a 3 digit security code. You need to create an account and then enter these numbers to complete your registration. You will then be able to top up your account, make payments and view your balance and transactions.

Paying online - you might have more than one purse

Make sure you top-up the correct purse on your account

Your account can have more than one purse. A purse is a simple way to split out the different things you may want to pay for.
For example a Catering purse to pay for school dinners and a Trips & Offers purse to pay for school trips, offers and other school items.
It is important to make sure you top-up the correct purse.

Top-up your child's Catering purse

Top-up your child's cashless catering purse online, so that they can then pay for their lunch or a snack from the school canteen. Top-up by bank transfer, or from a credit or debit card.


Top-up your child's Trips & Offers purse

If your child's school has enabled online payments for school trips you will also see this purse on your online account.
In this purse, you can view and pay for your child's school trips, clubs and other school offers. Pay online using a credit or debit card, or by bank transfer.
