What happens next

  1. 1

    It’s your default now

    The new card pays your memberships and any unpaid bills from now on.

    Change your mind?

    In the family portal, tap Make default on another card, or Remove on one you don’t want. Removing a card does not cancel a membership.

Good to know

Will I be charged right away?
Only if something is due, such as a first payment or an overdue bill. Saving the card pays it, right away or within the hour. Nothing else is charged until your next bill.
Using the app?
In the app: More, then Billing & documents, then Add a payment method. To remove a card, use the family portal (the app can’t remove cards).
Is there a card fee?
Only if your school adds one. If it does, the Add a card window says so before you save. A credit card adds your school’s card fee, a debit card doesn’t, and a bank account adds a small fee with a limit.
Is it safe?
Your card is kept by Stripe, the payment company your school uses. The school never sees the full number.
Paying by bank instead?
Tap Add a bank account. It opens a secure Stripe page to connect your bank.

Stuck?

Ask the front desk at your school. They can send you a link to add your card, or take it at the desk.
