Case Study

Ursinus College Improves Student Satisfaction by 25%

Before Ursinus College in Collegeville, Pennsylvania started using ACI Speedpay solutions, managing eCommerce took half a workday. Ellen Curcio, Associate Controller – Receivables for Ursinus, estimated that she spent three to four hours — or more — manually processing eCommerce payments. The system they were using was more appropriate for secondary education, not higher education, and it was not working.


“It was crucial that our payments vendor was an Ellucian strategic partner. With ACI’s technology, integration was seamless, and they let us offer students and parents convenient, easy-to-use payment options while backing us up with comprehensive support“
