When you pay through Backpack, you don’t have to hunt down bank details, mailing addresses, or obscure account numbers — we handle all of that for you.
Backpack is directly connected to your student’s university. Each school has its own secure account within the Backpack platform, just like you do. That means when you choose a school and submit a payment, the funds are delivered digitally and directly to that school’s official Backpack account — no middlemen, no paper checks, no guesswork.
This direct connection makes the process faster and more reliable. Because the payment arrives enriched with the student’s information, the university can match it to their tuition balance often faster than traditional bank transfers or mailed checks.
In short: you pick the school, we handle the rest.
