Multi academy trusts
Fast, easy and effective cashless payments
One comprehensive system for Academy Trusts to manage school income, parent communication and bookings.
sQuid makes managing school-related payments effortless. The cashless platform eliminates the need to count, reconcile and bank cash and cheques, significantly reducing the associated administration time and costs as all payments are made online.
School trips, clubs and bookings
Parents use the sQuid school portal to make payments for items such as school trips, uniform, bookings or other school related payments. Parents simply go online and are presented with a range of items that are specific to their child. They can then make quick secure online payments without the need to send cash or cheques into the school. All paid transactions can be viewed online by the parent should they need a record of what they have paid for.
Secure online payments
sQuid enables parents to pay online for their child’s school meals without the need to send cash or cheques to school. It’s easy to set up, and sQuid settles the payment directly to the school or a central Trust account. sQuid can also be used for school trip payments and much more.
Cashless catering and attendance
sQuid integrates with a number of cashless catering systems to enable online payments in schools. Parents can make top up payments to their child’s catering account through sQuid, 24/7, removing the need for pupils to bring cash into school. sQuid includes online access for parents and administrators, including web pages, online top ups and records of transactions, all accessible through a secure online portal.
