Theological tuition payments simplified by PaySimple

[img_assist|nid=7772|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=34]Trinity College, a non-profit, distance learning Bible College and Theological Seminary expressed its appreciation of the achievements made due to the usage of PaySimple Solution provided by PaySimple, the leading provider of on-demand electronic payment solutions for small businesses. The service enabled the educational institution to save time and money accepting tuition payments via the system, double the amount of checks they process over the phone since implementation and speed up the time in which they receive funds.

At the Trinity College students are offered degree programs in Bible, Counseling, Pastoral Ministry, Preaching, Apologetics and Theology. The college has been delivering training since 1969. 4,000 students around the world get education at bachelor's, master's, and doctorate levels. Here they are prepared for ministry and professional life. Students attend classes, interact with faculty and assist one another by mail, Internet and in person at their campus in Newburgh, Indiana. Most of the students are already full-time pastors. Nevertheless that doesn't prevent them to advance the education provided by Trinity while allowing them to continue ministering locally.

PaySimple Solution was best able to address their needs both because of PaySimple's ability to automatically convert paper checks into an electronic transfer via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system, and because the Software as a Service (SaaS) Internet application is hosted by PaySimple, so there would be no additional IT resources needed to maintain the application. Trinity College now uses their computer as a "virtual cash register" to accept payments by mail and over the phone.

"PaySimple manages the process for us so that if we input the routing number we were given, and it's incorrect, PaySimple stops the transaction prior to it getting to the bank - problem solved!" says Reese.

"Getting started with PaySimple was amazingly easy; the system is simple and intuitive, and the customer training was wonderful. We were running transactions within 30 minutes of being approved," Reese adds. "It is so simple for me and my team to use on a daily basis, and none of us are technology people!"

Further he says: "Our students find the PaySimple Solution extremely convenient. We have almost doubled the amount of checks we process over the phone since implementing this solution, and we look forward to getting the Web piece shortly, which would allow our students to pay their tuition online."
