Does This Ring a Bell?

1. Your school is paying too much in credit card processing fees.

2. Your parents want payments directly debited from their bank accounts.

3. Your staff spends hours collecting updated credit card information and reconciling transactions with bank deposits.

4. Your volunteers can only accept cash payments at events.

5. Your fundraisers generate manual tasks that keep you from important school business.
