Upay
Cashless Catering with Upay
Upay is a fast and convenient way to pay for a range of catering service at Food at Edge Hill managed outlets. Most food items can be purchased using your Upay account. Alcohol and certain confectionery items are exempt therefore these items will need to be purchased separately.

To Top Up
Once registered it can be topped up via the website or the smartphone app using your credit/debit card with your desired amount of cash. The balance will remain in your Upay account until you require it. The minimum top-up amount is £5. More Information https://www.upay.co.uk.
For parents who wish to top up their son/daughter’s account, please ensure that you have their current log in details. This will be a username (email address) and password.
