Case Study: Pardes Jewish Day School achieves savings and streamlined payment processing with Diamond Mind

School Saves Money with Help from the Independent School Payment Experts

Pardes Jewish Day School in Phoenix was managing payments for field trips, enrichment classes, athletics, lunches and donations across several vendors and wanted to consolidate processing and offer a credit-card tuition option. After a prospective processor incorrectly advised them they could not assess convenience or surcharge fees, the school sought out Diamond Mind (Payment Solutions for Schools) for expertise on independent-school payment rules.

Diamond Mind assigned a personal account manager who walked Pardes through the nuances of convenience fees, surcharge rules and discounts-for-cash and helped implement the appropriate options on the school’s website. As a result, Diamond Mind now processes Pardes’ online donations and tuition (including a surcharge fee), providing excellent rates, consolidating key payment flows and helping the school save money.
