Advantages
■ Cashless School. Less cash reduces crime and theft, and minimizes student’s temptations to use cash to buy undesirable products.
■ Ease-of-Use. Parents can very simply add funds to the card in 3 easy steps through our website under My Account - Account Maintenance. No more lost lunch money, lost checks or frantic parents trying to find cash for their child’s lunch the morning before school.
■ Highly Secure. Smart card advanced encryption technology is far superior to magnetic strip or other encryption methods.
■ Non-Discriminatory. Free/reduced lunches are recognized only through the system, ensuring student’s privacy, confidentiality and eliminating the stigma of ‘underprivileged’ if they are participating in government assistance programs.
■ Simple Termination if Lost or Stolen. Parents or students can cancel their card if lost or stolen by the school administration office; by calling our toll free number 1.866.63.CHECK; or by Email to lost card at InstaPayment.com. Furthermore, all ID cards include the student’s photo, minimizing fraudulent use if a card is stolen.
■ Emergency Broadcast. When activating their child’s ID card, parents can opt-in to include their cell phone and Email address for school emergency broadcast information. For any school emergency, school authorities can instantly send text and Email messages to all parents notifying them simultaneously.
