ACI’s new campus commerce solution simplifies
payments while improving security for higher education
institutions
ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ:ACIW), a leading global provider of
real-time electronic payment and banking solutions,
today introduced the ACI Student Payment Portal, part of its UP
Bill Payment solution, which enables students and parents to
securely manage and streamline college payments. Millersville
University will utilize ACI’s solution to help simplify payments
and improve security.
A long-time ACI client, Lancaster County, Pa.-based Millersville
University already enables students to easily make payments at 25
locations around campus, such as the gym, library, or when loading
campus cards. With the need for a simple and more modern way for
families to pay tuition with real-time integration into Ellucian
Banner, the university plans to deploy ACI’s new Student Payment
Portal to accept tuition payments online. The Portal allows
students and parents to pay their tuition in full and easily view
bills, all through a modern mobile and web experience that
prominently displays Millersville’s brand.
“Students and parents want easier ways to pay tuition,” said
Amanda Flurry, director, Student Financial Services, Millersville
University. “That means a mobile-first design, fewer clicks and a
modern look and feel. ACI’s new Student Payment Portal meets our
families’ expectations for a simpler way to pay, and several of the
features, such as easy access for multiple family members, just
make their lives easier, all while keeping payments secure.”
“Across higher education, institutions are challenged to keep up
with new student expectations and fight off cyber-attacks—with
smaller budgets,” said Joyce Kim, analyst, Education Technology,
Ovum. “We see many institutions embracing next-generation
technology to raise student satisfaction while bolstering
security.”
ACI’s payment processing exceeds the industry average for
security according to a Verizon business security assessment.
Moreover, the cloud-based Student Payment Portal reduces costs,
such as development and licensing fees, and it reduces staff time
spent on payments by 19 percent, according to TechValidate
research.
“A recent Aite study showed that 49 percent of Americans made a
late higher education payment in the last 12 months,” said Andrew
Sajeski, leader, biller solutions, ACI Worldwide. “By making
payment plans more convenient for students and parents, we can
increase the number of on-time payments and improve student
satisfaction. This launch of the Student Payment Portal builds on
ACI’s 35 years of serving the higher education industry with easy
payment options.”
More than 300 higher education institutions trust ACI Worldwide
for improving student satisfaction and payments security with its
campus commerce systems. On average, higher education institutions
report a 24 percent increase in student satisfaction after
partnering with ACI Worldwide, according to TechValidate
research.
Millersville University, ACI Worldwide and Ellucian will present
on simplifying payments at Ellucian Live on April 9 at 1:45pm. Meet
ACI at Ellucian Live at booth #209, April 7-10.
