On-demand Sessions: 

• Payment Plans Drive Student Engagement and Success
  For Gen Z, technology is central and, in most cases, if they can’t do it from their mobile phone, they can’t do it. They’re on track to be the most educated and they are wary when it comes to taking on student loan debt and are looking for ways to pay for their education. In this session, gain insight into how students and families are paying for college and hear school case studies detailing why tech-driven, tailored payment plans should be part of your solution.
• Accepting ACH Payments is Changing
  Accepting ACH payments on campus has changed and not all payment providers are able to support the new Nacha standards. Attend this on-demand session to learn about the Nacha standards for validation and encryption: Supplementing Fraud Detection Standards for WEB Debits and the Supplementing Data Security Requirements, and what these changes mean for your institution. Together, TouchNet and Ellucian offer more than 800 colleges and universities around the world enterprise-grade platforms for campuswide payments and ID management. TouchNet solutions are deeply integrated into the Ellucian product suite and deliver greater efficiency, visibility and scalability.
