Why Schools Are Going Cashless
There are many issues around pupils bringing cash and cheques into school to pay for meals, trips and clubs. Pupils bringing cash into school may choose to spend their dinner money outside of school grounds, on sweets or fizzy drinks. In other cases, carrying cash can act as a trigger for bullying or simply be lost. Considering these challenges, a growing number of schools are choosing to go cashless to help alleviate some of the problems related to cash in schools.
In return for removing cash, schools and caterers are realising significant benefits including reduced administration time and direct cost savings.
Parents also benefit from the ease of cashless catering, knowing they can top up their child's account online, remove the worry over bringing cash into school and even see what their child has eaten each day.
"I have had a working relationship with CRB Cunninghams for over 10 years now and can honestly say it has gone from strength to strength. What really sets them apart is the manner in which they assist us with problems. Overall I am thoroughly satisfied with the product CRB Cunninghams provide and look forward to this on-going relationship flourishing in the future."

Metro Fresh Wigan Council
Many thanks to CRB Cunninghams in getting us up and running with the contactless cards and pre-order app. It was an excellent project and a pleasure to work with you all! I’ve had excellent feedback and expressions of thanks from senior officers, and more importantly, I have been inundated with requests from pupils that never received their onboarding codes wanting to sign up. I would highly recommend Fusion Online to other schools. In fact, I’m already advising other councils to implement the software.

"From start to finish CRB Cunninghams displayed their knowledge and understanding of the school environment. They were flexible and professional from the start of the decision making progress. Importantly, they were timely in installation, helpful with solutions and remained to be part of the first operations day. They continue to support and be helpful."

"I can't praise the system enough - it works really well with mobile devices too. We've just started our first trip collection too, which is minimising our overheads with cash collection - ticks a box for our admin staff."
Primary and Secondary school, Ebbw Fawr
"Our CRB Cunninghams cashless system has been very reliable including revaluation units, tills and software. Any issues have always been quickly addressed with excellent support being provided by CRB Cunninghams. I believe CRB Cunninghams to be a market leader in this area and with good reason."
