What’s New in a.school? ACH Bank Payments.
on March 26, 2026
Collecting tuition shouldn’t feel like a tradeoff between convenience and cost. For many schools, card fees quietly add up over time, pulling resources away from your learners and community and redirecting them towards financial institutions.
That’s exactly why we’ve introduced ACH bank payments. Now, you can accept direct bank transfers from parents, giving families a simple, reliable way to pay while helping your school reduce transaction costs.
Lower Fees and More Predictable Payments
ACH payments typically have lower fees than credit cards, making them a more sustainable option for recurring tuition payments and larger payments.
At the same time, families get a smoother experience. They can connect their bank account once and pay directly, without worrying about card limits, expiries, or outdated payment details.
It also brings more consistency to your billing. Payments move directly from bank to bank, reducing friction and making it easier for families to stay on track. For you, that means fewer surprises, clearer forecasting, and less time spent managing payment issues.
