Thank you for making my job 10 times easier!
Gary was so super helpful! All documents and information i asked for, he provided, even completing the task for me (when i could have easily done it myself) but he kindly offered.

sQuid... a game changer!
With regards to the start of this year i would like to compliment sQuid Pay on getting it right. The ability to be able to send out the register letters on administration day was a game changer. It made the start of the year much easier. It has been the first year in my last 5 that i haven't had mass problems and queries.

Very good, easy to use and works well!
I’d just like to say that your Platform is very good, easy to use and works well for the kids. As a Fintech CEO myself, I fully appreciate how difficult it is to build such as platform and achieve market acceptance!

Tech Query Resolved in 5 Minutes!
I raised a tech query with customer service via email. To my surprise, I received a response and the tech query was resolved within five minutes (yes, 5 minutes). Based on that experience I can only recommend Squid Card.

We have a result!
We have a result! This is the way forward, thank you
So I’ve been on, it’s actually really easy to use. Especially if payments are being made weekly. I added a weeks worth of meals and care then a weeks worth of sessions to my basket with no problem at all.

Very pleased to be using sQuid!
When I first joined our school they used excel to monitor dinner money and collected cash/cheques. It was awful! I’m very pleased that we use sQuid.

Asset to the team
Louis is an asset to the team. Throughout the last 36 hours, my issues with sQuid have been handled professionally, sympathetically and quickly by him. Despite my frustrated tone (at an upgrade being scheduled a week before school breaks up for summer!!) Louis has worked so hard to resolve the issue and has called me several times today to update me on the progress. Thank you Louis.

Good customer service
My son's school use this and when I recently wanted to change my email address, I made a new squid account but couldn't put my son's registration number on there (already in use in the old squid account). I was so frustrated but I emailed them and they emailed me back the same day. They changed my email address in my old account, and then deleted the new one I had made. All very straightforward. I think their customer service was very good. Thank you.

Go over and beyond

Finance Officer, Grammar School, Orpington
Fantastic!
Lorraine was absolutely fantastic. Fully explaining the process and the difficulty with transferral of data via Groupcall XOD. She went above and beyond to reassure me she was doing all she could to rectify the situation, something which was out of the control of sQuid. Thank you very much Lorraine. I didn't fill out a survey last year, but you helped me at a similar time last year with producing letters. Lorraine has also offered me some training so that I can independently 'run' the letters next year.

I would recommend sQuid to anyone
We became a cashless school a few years ago and find sQuid invaluable. We have issues with the system from time to time but these are generally resolved although at times (particularly the start of a new school year) can take a few weeks to sort out which can be frustrating not only for the school but also our parents. Parents seem to find sQuid easy to navigate and it means we have no missing payments and the system makes it easy to chase those parents who have not paid for offers. We utilise the system not only to receive payments but to gather consent information for trips, order uniform, to sign up for sporting events and clubs and to pay for wrap around care. It has saved a good deal of admin time recording payments as the system allows us to run reports. I would recommend sQuid to any school looking to become cashless.

Exceptional Customer Service and prompt refund resolution!
I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Squidcard, and I must say my experience was quite positive. Despite some negative reviews floating around regarding their refund process, my encounter with them was nothing short of excellent.
Upon my son's departure from school this summer, I initially faced some challenges getting in touch with their customer support through email. Frustrated, I decided to dig a little deeper and found the contact details of John (jgallacher at squidcard.com). I reached out to him, expressing my concerns about the lack of response.
To my surprise, John promptly replied, explaining that the summer period brings in a high volume of inquiries, but assured me that they do eventually address all concerns. True to his word, my patience paid off as I received a timely response. I provided the necessary details from my son and the school, and John efficiently arranged a refund for me.
Although I did receive email responses confirming the refund a bit later than expected, the important thing was that Squidcard delivered on their promise. The whole process was handled professionally and courteously, and I felt reassured by their commitment to resolving customer concerns.
In light of my positive experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Squidcard for their reliable services and commendable customer support. Sometimes, a bit of patience can lead to a resolution that exceeds expectations. Kudos to Squidcard for their dedication to customer satisfaction!
