Welcome to the University Bursar Monthly Bulletin. The October 2021 bulletin spotlights the GAR Online Payment Center.
GAR Online Payment Center
If your department bills customers for non-student related receivables, i.e., for General Accounts Receivable (GAR), your customers may pay online using the GAR Online Payment Center. The GAR Online Payment Center can accommodate both ACH (electronic check) and credit card payments. However, before credit card payments are accepted, departments must submit a GAR Online Payment Center Department Authorization that authorizes OBFS to charge the merchant fee (approximately 2.4% of each credit card payment) to the authorizing department’s C-FOAP.
The GAR Online Payment Center include:
- A one-time, pre-login consent agreement
- An option to pay multiple invoices at a time
- An option to make partial payment of an invoice (only if the invoice is split into separate transactions using the same invoice number)
