Eliminate writing checks, mailing payments, or giving cash to your child. You can even setup a recurring payment so funds are always available in your child's lunch account when you use your credit card.

How to enroll

Setting up an account is as easy as one, two, three.

• Step 1:  Visit PayPams.com or call 1-888-994-4100 to provide your student’s meal account ID number. If you don't have the student ID number, you will have to contact your school administration.
   

• Step 2: Choose your Payment Options: Make manual payments at your convenience or set up automatic payments based on your student’s balance falling below an amount that you determine. Setting a low balance for a recurring payment will ensure you will never have to worry about school lunch payments again!
   

• Step 3: Make a Payment: Pay by credit/debit card or by electronic check withdrawal from your bank account. You will receive an immediate confirmation that your payment has been received. Your personal and payment information is protected by the most advanced internet security. Navigate with confidence!
