Schools
Cashless catering and more
Does your school require a low-cost, easy to administer and effective system for replacing cash transactions (and potentially other types of transaction) on campus.
Our objective is to deliver an eMoney purse for school's on a smartcard, or an existing one, that will enable the school to ensure all services are correctly paid and accounted for, at low cost via a secure payment system.
The proposition for students is around simplicity, speed, and security. An eMoney purse gives students (and parents) the benefit of a non-cash payment service, and encourages easy and efficient use of the schools services. It also allows a simple, discrete method for administering free school meal (FSM) benefit.
The core features of the proposed service include;
Registration and issuing of smartcards via a simple, auditable process, with control of distribution on campus
Students/Guardians then activate the eMoney purse online via an easy to use web portal - registering name, address, password and card number to access the system
The stored value on the card is used to make a transaction - for example cashless catering - the student taps the card on the reader by the till, the purse is read and value is deducted
Card is reloadable, offline or over the internet, with value being deposited on the card when next used at a reader. A cash/cheque upload facility can also be made available at a school office
The technology platform used by sQuidcard is straight forward, using proven card and reader technology, which is already in widespread use across retail outlets in the UK.
- A back-office supports the sQuidcard platform, and would enable your school to access reports on transactions and general card usage information.
