"sQuid integrates with NRS’s Trust-e payments"
12 January 2010

sQuid, the ePayments provider, has announced the integration of their system with Nationwide Retail System’s (NRS) ‘Trust-e’ Cashless Catering School Management Solution.  This creates a seamless and simple way for students to pay for their meals at school.

The NRS school management solution provides business control and reporting to many schools across the UK, and by integrating with sQuid, they can now offer new choice in online ePayment solutions, enabling the real prospect of eliminating the need for cash in schools.

David Paylor, Head of cashless systems at the NRS stated that, “This partnership promises to be very beneficial.  We have watched sQuid develop from concept to reality as it creates a truly flexible payments platform.  Now it will provide a simple and safe way for students to pay for their meals, as well as greatly reducing administration in the school.”

By making online top ups, parents can quickly and easily load money onto their child’s sQuid account, and with the ability to view transactions online, they can be certain that their child is spending money on food and drink at school.

Adam Smith, Managing Director at sQuid said, “We are dedicated to lowering administration costs from schools and making life easier for parents and students.  Combining our sophisticated ePayment platform with NRS’s ‘Trust-e’ Cashless Catering School Management Solution will help make that a reality for many more schools, and opens up new possibilities in delivering flexible, low cost payment services for schools and campuses.”
