Biometrics - case study

Banbury School accept sQuid biometrics payments
When Banbury School decided to use a biometric system on campus, it turned to sQuid to deliver a seamless electronic payment account to support it.

Banbury School accepting sQuid biometrics
In 2009 Banbury School began accepting sQuid ePayments to support its
biometrics solution. Working closely with Cunninghams and CRB, sQuid
created a solution to reduce school administration time and cash handling
fees while making life easier for the Sodexo catering team.

Using biometric technology
BioStore provides the biometric readers which integrate with the Cunninghams EPOS till system. Local stored value is assured by the individual for payment at the school food facility. The local account is controlled by the sQuid online account. Parents and students can top up online and view transaction details.

Key features
- The sQuid system is integrated with the catering software used within the school
- Every student and staff member registers the digital reading of their finger print and then creates an online sQuid account to top up their electronic purse
- Administration fees are lowered dramatically
- Queuing times are reduced and cash is removed from campus
- All transaction data is available to the school and settlement is automatic for the catering service operator

Security
The storage, management and accessibility of student and staff biometric
details is managed by the school. Parents and pupils benefit from sQuid's
secure pay-as-you-go eMoney service.

“The integration of biometric readers to enable sQuid payments compliments our ability to manage smart card and online payments too”
Adam Smith, MD sQuidcard
