First seen on May 15, 2017, Last updated on August 17, 2023

What is it?

This is a charge made through a payment system called Smart Tuition, now known as Blackbaud Tuition Management, which is based in Charleston, South Carolina. The company's technology allows private schools to collect and manage tuition fees. Families using the system have one login to see their application status, deposit payment, enrollment, and tuition payment plans.

The company provides the following tools:

  • Flexible payment plans
  • Variety of payment modalities including ACH (Automated Clearing House) direct payments, credit card, Pay Near Me, and more
  • Reminder and follow-up services to help families stay current on payments

Why this charge may appear on your card

You're likely seeing this charge because you made a payment to a private school that uses Smart Tuition for collecting payment online. If you didn't make this payment, it's possible someone else did, which may be an early indication of fraud.

What can you do?

If you don’t recognize the charge, you can contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charges and try to recover the money.

This is a private school tuition management system.

It may be private school tuition and/or deposit. That is what it was for us.

Blackbaud Tuition Management - Private school tuition site.

The private school my teenager attends transitioned from us mailing tuition in, to this form of tuition payment. That said, I would advise you to contact your school to confirm.

I got charged $3.00 today and I couldn’t understand why?

Two charges on my bank statement 1 for 3.00 and one for 19.00 I did not make any purchase or order from Smarty LLC or SmartyPlus Net

Can you help? What is this charge?
