Spotlight on GAR Online Payment Center
If your department bills customers for non-student related receivables (General Accounts Receivable or GAR), those customers can make payments online using the GAR Online Payment Center. The system supports both ACH (electronic check) and credit card payments.
However, before accepting credit card payments, departments must submit a GAR Online Payment Center Department Authorization form. This form authorizes Business & Finance to charge the credit card merchant fee (approximately 2.5% per transaction but may vary) to the department’s C-FOAP.
Please note: Charges entered into Banner A/R will be available to view in the GAR Online Payment Center the next business day.
The GAR Online Payment Center includes:
- A one-time, pre-login consent agreement
- The option to pay multiple invoices at once
- The option to make a partial payment on an invoice (only if the invoice is divided into separate transactions using the same invoice number)
