Toronto, ON – Wednesday December 11, 2024 - PayMyTuition, a leading provider of payment solutions for educational institutions, is proud to announce the launch of its cutting-edge 529 Disbursement Solution, designed to streamline and automate the handling of 529 college savings plan payments for U.S. colleges and universities. By eliminating manual processes and introducing real-time integration with major Student Information Systems (SIS), PayMyTuition is setting a new standard for efficiency and transparency in 529 disbursement management.
For years, educational institutions have struggled with inefficient, manual methods for processing 529 payments, typically relying on paper checks. These outdated systems have led to frequent delays, errors, and administrative burdens as staff are required to manually post payments and reconcile student accounts. As more students utilize 529 plans, institutions are under increasing pressure to find a modern solution.

This modernized approach ensures error-free and scalable management of 529 disbursements.
The Challenge: Outdated, Manual Systems
Traditionally, colleges and universities have received paper checks from 529 plans, resulting in delayed payments and the risk of lost checks. Finance teams have had to manually post payments to student accounts, often without proper identifiers, leading to further delays and reconciliation issues. As the number of students using 529 plans increases, these manual processes have proven unsustainable.
