What is allpay Cashless? 

allpay Cashless is a quick, cost effective system for the collection of payments towards any item including but not 
limited to; school dinners, uniform sundries and trips.  

allpay Cashless provides the Guardian with the ease of paying for products or services without cash changing 
hands, either at the EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) terminal or within the premises where the funds are collected. 
The result is faster transaction processing and reduced queuing times for pupils. In addition, allpay allows flexibility 
in how the item may be paid for; options include securing the item with a deposit, instalments over time or a lump 
sum payment.  

How it works 

Account 

All Guardians will be allocated an individual account together with a swipe card or barcoded invoice containing a 
Payment Reference Number (PRN). The PRN gives reference details allowing Guardians to load an account by 
making a payment. Payments may be made 24/7, free of charge using a debit or credit card (where allowed) via 
allpay’s internet and telephone payment services or through the allpay App. If Guardians do not wish to pay via 
card, they may pay by cash over the counter at their nearest network outlet, Post Office

®

 or PayPoint.

Making a Payment at the EPoS Terminal 

If paying for a school dinner using the allpay Cashless EPOS terminal, pupils must identify themselves using one of 
the following 3 methods.  

 

Swipecard registered against a payers account 

 

Biometric scan 

 

Customer name look up 

If using a swipecard, it may be presented at the terminal where it will be swiped and funds debited. Individual 
swipecards will be allocated to pupils by the school as and when required.
