University leverages UP Bill Payment Solution to enable families to
easily set up payment plans and securely make tuition payments
NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ACI
Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of electronic
payment and banking solutions, today announced that
Pennsylvania-based Eastern University has selected the company to power
its payment plan and tuition payments across multiple channels.
With an enrollment of about 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students,
Eastern University wanted a proven electronic payment system that
required no additional programming to integrate with its ERP system. The
University also wanted technology that provided a low total cost of
ownership. ACI's UP Bill Payment Solution as well as its integrated
strategic partnership with Ellucian made it the school's ideal payment
partner.
ACI is a market leader in providing bill
payment systems to colleges and universities with more than 300
higher education institutions in the United States and Puerto Rico
utilizing its payment processing solutions. For more than twenty years,
colleges and universities have relied on ACI's solutions to provide
students and parents with convenient and engaging methods to pay tuition
and fees—phone, web and in-person payment systems for 24/7/365
convenience and security.
"When we selected Ellucian Colleague for our ERP system, we inquired
with other schools in the Ellucian community about payment plan and
tuition payments," said Lisa Weller, senior director, Student Accounts,
Eastern University. "After receiving countless endorsements for ACI's UP
Bill Payment Solution, we learned that it could meet all of our
ecommerce requirements, offer full integration with our Colleague system
and provide a low total cost of ownership."
"With the rising cost of university education across the country, we are
pleased to provide Eastern University with an easy and engaging way for
their students' families to set up payment plans," said Scott
Fitzgerald, vice president, ACI Worldwide. "More colleges and
universities are turning to ACI's UP Bill Payment Solution for tuition
