Encouraging parents to pay online can be difficult if they do not have access to the internet, or do not have a credit or debit card. To help you go completely cashless, we provide several additional payment options

• Bank Transfer - make payments directly from a bank account (see article What is Bank Transfer)
• PayPoint - enable parents to make cash payments at local stores for meals and payment items you send them (see article How to use PayPoint)
