ACH Verification | Invoice Account Report Improvements | Defects and Maintenance
ACH Verification
Starting with our December release, we are excited to share that TADS will begin validating bank account details (Account Type, Routing Number, and Account Number) when entered on payment pages across Admissions, Enrollment, Tuition Management, and Financial Aid.
User Notes:
- If the bank information is valid, nothing changes for users.
- If the information is invalid (e.g., incorrect routing or account number), users will see an error message immediately and can correct it before submitting.
ACH Verification will prevent payments from failing due to incorrect account details. It will also reduce delays and fees for families and schools by catching errors upfront.
Invoice Account Report Improvements
We updated the Invoice Account Report for all schools with several quality-of-life improvements to make the report easier to use and manipulate:
- Date column will now be filled in for every row, rather than just the first cell.
- Replaced the TADS Student ID with the more visible and universal TADS Suite ID for better identification and reconciliation of students.
- Added a column to hold a school's unique External IDs to more easily identify students, particularly when comparing the report with external data.
