e-Funds for Schools

The Acton-Boxborough Regional School District is pleased to introduce a new payment option called e~Funds for Schools. This program offers various options for parents/guardians who choose to make payments online and is extremely user friendly. Not only will you have the ability to have various school fees electronically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your credit card, you also have the flexibility to make a payment at any time.

The e~Funds for Schools electronic payment service is provided to the school by a third party service provider. The service provider charges a nominal fee for their service. There is a $1.00 transaction convenience fee for each electronic checking payment that you make. If the payment is returned due to Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF), there will be a charge. For payments made by credit or debit card, there is a convenience fee of $2.65 per each $100 increment in the transaction. When you set up your account, please review your options carefully. E-funds will not reverse transactions made incorrectly. If you notice an error after the transaction is complete, please contact the school and a refund check will be processed through accounts payable (less any transaction fees).

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 email address, an email notification informing you of the student’s name, purpose of the payment, and the amount of the item, will be sent to you each time that a payment is to be processed. The e~Funds for Schools site is secure and uses industry standard data encryption. The district does not request or keep records of family checking or credit card account information.
