Simplify payments for students and families

CSG Payments handles a broad range of education payment types — tuition, fees, and donations — across web, mobile, IVR, and in-person channels. Our solutions accept all major credit and debit cards, ACH/eCheck, and digital wallets. A shopping cart-style checkout lets students and families bundle multiple payment items, like fees and activity charges, into a single transaction. 

CSG Payments connects to existing student information systems and ERP platforms through REST APIs, file-based connectors, and batch processing—no full system replacement required. Payment status, settlement data, and reconciliation files flow back to core systems automatically, keeping student account balances and finance records current and in sync.  

Absolutely. CSG Payments supports installment billing, recurring payment schedules, and flexible payment plan configurations. Students enroll in scheduled payments tied to their billing cycle, with automated text or email reminders before each installment is due. Partial payments and pre-pay options are also available to accommodate different financial situations. 

CSG Payments’ Dex platform provides real-time transaction reporting, payout reconciliation summaries, and exportable custom reports that finance offices use to match payments to student accounts. Daily transaction reports, funding summaries, and dispute management data are all accessible from one platform, reducing manual reconciliation effort across departments. 

Yes. CSG Payments supports multi-department payment operations under a single organizational hierarchy. Each department can have its own payment settings, user permissions, and reporting views—while institution-wide administrators maintain consolidated visibility, allowing departments to operate independently without fragmented or duplicated systems.
