New mobile app helps parents manage school-related fees

Heartland School Solutions, a division of Heartland Payment Systems® has launched a mobile payments application for parents of school-aged children to manage school related fees such as meals, tuition, lab or library, athletic or club, sporting events, and more from smart phones and tablets.

Available on Apple iOS and Android, Heartland’s new mySchoolBucks app provides parents access to their students’ meal accounts and enables them to use their smartphones or mobile devices to prepay school related fees, replenish their child’s account using credit cards, debit cards or electronic checks, and view recent activity for their children while on the go. A secure PCI-DSS and Visa CISP compliant online prepayment system for school payments, mySchoolBucks also allows parents the flexibility to view current account balances and student meal purchases, arrange recurring payments when their account reaches a low balance threshold, and set daily or weekly spending limits.
