Dear Parents,
The Shelby County School Nutrition Department is pleased to introduce a new
program called “e-Funds for Schools”. This program is extremely
user friendly and offers various options for parents/guardians who choose to
make meal payments on-line. Not only will you have the ability to have meal
payments electronically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your
credit card, but you may also have the flexibility of making a payment at any
time through our website.
The “e-Funds for Schools” service is offered to you by a third party
service provider and they charge for processing your payment(s), similar to
other on-line banking services. The district does not request or keep records
of family checking or credit card account information. The service provider
has a nominal fee for their service. This plan applies a $1.00 transaction fee
to each electronic payment you make. For payments made by credit card, there
is a $1.00 transaction fee and an added convenience fee of 1.99% of the payment.
The system also carries a Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) charge of $15. When you
set up your account, please review your options carefully.
The “e-Funds for Schools” site is secure and uses industry standard
data encryption. You are in full control of your account and can make a payment
at any time that is convenient for you. No payments will be allowed without
your knowledge and authorization through this secure payment system. By providing
your home and/or work email address, an email notification informing you of
the student’s name, purpose of the payment, and the amount of the payment
will be sent to you each time that a payment is to be processed.
Advantages to “e-Funds for Schools”
