CARS e-Bill and e-Check solution coming spring 2005

Joyce Sturm, Financial Services

Through a multicampus RFP process coordinated by Office of the President—Strategic Sourcing, Berkeley has selected Sallie Mae's Net Pay Solution to offer Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) to students. Representatives from Financial Services, IST, and e-Berkeley participated in the vendor search and selection, and concluded that the flexibility and expandability of the Sallie Mae suite of services provided considerable value at an affordable price.

Currently in the design and testing phases, this new functionality will allow students to:

• Access the system via BearFacts, using CalNet ID.
• View their monthly CARS billing statement online.
• See previous statements for up to 12 months.
• Submit electronic payments directly from a checking or savings account.
• Authorize parents or other third parties to see statements and make payments.
• Receive email confirmations of all online e-Bill and e-Check activity.

Plans call for the system to be piloted in fall 2004 and fully implemented in spring 2005.
