Automatic Payment Options

Benefit from fast automatic fee payments to your centre's bank account reducing delays and keeping your families up to date.
Smart Central provides two facilities for automatic payments from your parents: Direct Debit & Smart Central Click to Pay

Smart Central Direct Debit – Smart Central offers competitve merchant fees, saves buckets of administration time and there’s no additional cost to run it. Smart Central Direct Debit is simple to activate plus centres will receive free training and ongoing support.

How does it work?

  1. Parents elect to have fee payments direct debited from either a bank account or a credit card.
  2. Automatic payment records are created in Smart Central, eliminating the need for you to manually enter payments.
  3. Direct debit transactions are triggered from within Smart Central by you and sent directly to our secure payment gateway for processing.
  4. Cleared payments are then automatically deposited into your bank account.
