PayPal and Venmo are already how many students and families manage money day to day. They pay for groceries, shop and earn rewards, split rent, and send money to friends and family. That familiarity and convenience now extend to tuition, one of the most significant payments students and families make. Now, PayPal and Venmo will appear as options within each participating school’s existing payment portal. Students and families gain more choice, while campus teams offer another easy and trusted payment option while they continue managing tuition payments through Illumia. “Families want more ways to pay, and schools need a simple way to offer them,” said Don Smith, senior vice president and general manager of Integrated Payments at Illumia. “This integration does both. Students and families can use PayPal or Venmo through the portal they already use, while campus teams continue to manage payments through Illumia. That’s how payment choice should work: easier for families and practical for institutions.” “Through our partnership with Illumia, families can now pay tuition with PayPal and Venmo,” said Frank Keller, President, Checkout Solutions & PayPal. “That's the same flexibility, security, and value they already count on us for, now applied to one of the biggest payments they'll ever make.” Paying tuition with PayPal or Venmo comes with the same trust customers rely on for everyday purchases, including encryption and fraud monitoring. Students and families can pay using a bank account, credit card, or PayPal or Venmo balance.1 PayPal and Venmo are available for tuition payments at select institutions using Illumia, with more institutions expected to add the options throughout the year. 1PayPal and Venmo Balance accounts are required to hold and use a balance. **About Illumia** Illumia (formerly Transact + CBORD), a business unit of Roper Technologies (Nasdaq: ROP), powers the payments, access, foodservice, and credentialing systems that more than 10,000 higher education, healthcare, and senior living institutions depend on every day.
