Security and compliance

Parents’ card and banking details must be handled securely. School EasyPay takes that responsibility off your school.

Why PCI DSS compliance matters

  • Parents’ card and banking details need to be handled securely.
  • Schools need to ensure their systems and processes are PCI DSS compliant.
  • PCI DSS compliance covers handling, storing and using card data.

How School EasyPay helps

  • Level 1 PCI DSS compliant, the highest level.
  • Card or bank details never enter the school or the school’s systems.
  • RBA-compliant fees: we charge the processing fee directly to the parent (or to your school).
