We get it—switching can be a big decision. But here’s why it’s worth it:
- Modern, Mobile-First Experience: Legacy processors haven’t kept up with student expectations. Meadow offers a sleek, frictionless digital experience that meets today’s standards.
- Proactive Engagement: Our smart, personalized communications keep students on track, making sure they pay on time. It’s like adding a data-driven communications expert to your team.
- Less Admin Work: We simplify everything from reconciliation to reporting with an intuitive dashboard. Plus, our auto-updating payment plans save you the manual hassle.
- More On-Time Payments: With Meadow, students are more likely to open emails, understand their bills, and pay on time. That’s a win for everyone.
- Tailored for You: Meadow Pay is flexible and customizable to fit your school’s unique processes and policies. We design it with you, for you.
Absolutely! Meadow seamlessly integrates with all major Student Information Systems (SIS) like Banner, Colleague, Powercampus, Jenzabar, PeopleSoft, Empower, CAMS, and more. Whether your SIS is cloud-based or on-premise, we’ve got you covered.
We understand that IT teams can get anxious about integrations, but don’t worry—our integration specialists have experience with every SIS and will work alongside your IT team, at no extra cost.
Meadow’s integration is smooth and straightforward, typically taking around 30 hours spread over 12 weeks. Our experienced project managers and dedicated integration specialists guide you and your IT team every step of the way, ensuring a hassle-free process.
Designing your communications library follows a similar timeline. In about 20 hours, we’ll work with you to understand your policies, review your messaging, and set everything up so you can “set it and forget it.”
Meadow Pay develops a website that is fully branded to your institution with your URL (e.g. pay.yourschool.edu). While it was designed to work great on a mobile device; it works just as well on a computer! Students don’t need to download anything—they simply access Meadow Pay via a payment link, which we include in all communications (email and SMS), as well as on your school website, student portal, and even QR codes on campus flyers. This eliminates the friction that often deters students from paying on time.
We focus on quality over quantity, using a data-driven approach. By tracking student actions through your SIS and their activity in Meadow, we send personalized messages at just the right time to maximize engagement. We reach students through multiple channels, including school email, personal email, and SMS, with targeted, tailored messages that resonate—no more generic "if you..." statements.
Yes, Meadow offers self-service payment plans with up to 12 monthly installments, tailored to fit your policies with custom guardrails.
What makes them great?
- User-Friendly: Students enjoy a simple, seamless experience.
- Automatic Rebalancing: Plans adjust automatically as balances change.
- Autopay: Students can set it and forget it.
- Flexible Due Dates: You choose the due dates, and we make it happen.
Yes Meadow is end-to-end across the billing lifecycle.

Yes! Meadow’s flexible billing engine integrates with your SIS to present each student with a clear, up-to-date balance, billing summary, and statement. Bills are tailored to match your current format, including term and session-specific charges, credits, and due dates.
Meadow uses advanced measures, including machine learning and payment verification, to detect and prevent fraud. Our partnership with a leading payment processor ensures your payments are safeguarded at every step.
