The Student Payments App Making Life Easier for Families
With the hustle and bustle of today’s world, LINQ Connect offers an easier way to make sure your family has what they need without those late-night runs to the ATM. Here are some things you can do with LINQ Connect that you may not be aware of:
Set a Daily Student Spending Limit
With LINQ Connect, you can set a daily limit for each student in your household to ensure they aren’t breaking the bank with purchases. No more adding that side of chips or an extra dessert and spending a full week of funds in just one day. Set a daily spending amount for your child and help them learn about budgeting, including how to stay within their limit.
Save Time and Set Recurring Payments
Instead of scrambling early in the morning to find cash for school breakfast or lunch, set up a recurring payment. You can take advantage of several options like setting an amount for each month or adding a flat amount each time the balance gets to your predetermined threshold. You can also set a notification informing you when a payment is being made, giving you the option to adjust when needed.
Make Digital Payments That Are More Secure than Cash
We all know things get lost between home and school. Students have backpacks full of schoolwork, books, toys, pencils, and much more. Cash and checks can get crumpled, torn, or lost in the mix too easily. Instead of asking your busy student to make sure the funds get to the right place, use the LINQ Connect app to fund their account for whatever they need. All transactions are protected with the latest PCI security requirements to ensure they’ll have money when needed, and your information is secure. Depending on your school, you may be able to pay for all types of school-related expenses, not just meals.
Monitor and Track Student Purchases
The system tracks all purchases made through the account and allows you to pull a report whenever you need it. This allows you to budget accordingly and see everything in one place. It also gives you an easy way to track your spending when you need to pull a report at the end of the month or year.
Manage Multiple Students in One Convenient App
If you have multiple children in the same district but different schools, you can easily manage them in within the same application. In addition to loading funds on the same platform, you can transfer funds between students and see all their activity in one place.
