Secure Payments
When families pay tuition or fees through your school, their payment information deserves the highest protection. Spark uses Stripe, a trusted leader in payment security, so families can pay with confidence knowing their financial data is completely safe.
Secure Card & Bank Data
Family payment card and bank account information never touches our servers—it's stored securely with Stripe, protecting your families' financial privacy.
Secure Funds
No payments flow through any Spark bank accounts. Stripe routes all funds directly from the payor to your school's bank account.
Level 1 PCI Compliance
When families make payments to your school, their transactions are processed through Stripe with Level 1 PCI Compliance—the highest standard available—so parents can trust their payment information is completely protected.
SOC 1 & 2 Compliance
All student records, family data, and school documents are stored in private AWS S3 buckets that are completely locked down from public access. AWS S3 is SOC 2 compliant and meets ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP standards—the same protection used for medical records and government data.
Stripe also undergoes regular SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits, so family payment data is handled with the same level of care as your students' information.
