CutTime Introduces New Online Payment Power with Vanco

Simplifying fine arts education program transaction processing and management for K12 school districts and other organizations

St. Augustine, FL (September 23, 2024) - CutTime, LLC, a leading provider of fine arts program management software, announces a strategic partnership with Vanco, a community-centered online payments provider for schools, educational, faith-based and community non-profits in the U.S.

“Vanco’s proven experience with secure payment servicing and reporting for thousands of schools will expand our ability to plug in a vital integrated solution for our fine arts customers,” said Corey Black, CEO of CutTime. “We are delighted to partner with the Vanco team to seamlessly deliver a trusted payment experience so administrators, business staff, educators, boosters, and families can all enjoy their fine arts program experience with greater peace of mind.”

Fine arts programs can now adopt Vanco’s PCI Level 1 payment service and extensive reporting capabilities within the CutTime platform through a seamless integration.

“Music, theater and dance education programs are integral for our communities, but navigating the challenges of today’s payment environment can stifle their growth,” said Jim McGinnis, CEO at Vanco. “Teachers, booster club leaders and their families want to focus on the educational experience without extra administrative stress. CutTime and Vanco share a common mission to make the financial tasks for school and community fine arts programs hassle-free.”

CutTime subscribers who currently use Vanco can request to switch on their existing credentials and enable online payments for their program members. Members can choose to make partial or full payments towards their account balance. Members also receive an automated payment reminder via their personalized CutTime Magic Link if they have an outstanding balance at the start of each calendar month. The Vanco integration with CutTime also enables school districts to gain more robust financial visibility into the payment transactions flowing through fine arts programs, which rolls up into their overall reporting.

With the surge in education departments requiring payment collection, K12 school business offices, especially in larger school districts, face complex accounting environments. Staff time is increasingly consumed with handling multiple forms of payment, performing extra reconciliation tasks, and compiling disparate report data. It is more challenging than ever for decision makers to get an accurate picture on the overall financial health and funding needs across departments.

Customers will receive a notification with details on how to activate their existing Vanco payment credentials in their current CutTime accounts. Fine Arts Administrators, educators, and booster leaders who are seeking a more streamlined and reliable approach to payments, communication, and inventory management for their programs can benefit immensely from CutTime’s innovative fine arts technology partnership with Vanco.
