- Filling out the FAFSA (financial aid)
What is Popmoney?

- Faster! No lag in delivery time.
- More secure. No concerns about compromising your account information or getting lost in the mail. (OR lost in their dorm room…let’s be honest!)
- Less hassle. You don’t need a stamp or envelope. The recipient doesn’t need to go to a bank to deposit a check.
- Any time. You don’t need to be at home, near a mailbox, or in front of your computer. You can send money right from your mobile phone.
Benefits of Popmoney
- College students can pay each other. Splitting a pizza? Sharing rent? Chipping in for gas money? With one action, your student can send a request for payment from all involved and his or her friends can pay with the touch of a button. No more claiming they’re out of cash.
- No charge to sign up.
- Since it is tied directly to your bank account, there are no fees to “disburse” the funds to your account like some of the other digital pay services
- If your bank offers the Popmoney service (like State Bank of Cross Plains), any other transaction fees may also be waived or reduced. Learn more about SBCP’s Popmoney service here.
