Zelle

Alternative payment for activities and fees

Alternative payment for activities and fees

Novi High School Orchestra Boosters now have an alternative way for families to pay for fees and activities. In addition to cash or check, payment may now be made directly between bank accounts using Zelle. It is very important when using Zelle to note in the Memo space the NAME of the student and the PURPOSE of the payment.

How To Pay Using Zelle

(Bank Example)

All online banking is set up uniquely, but here is an example of how to set up a payment to the Novi Orchestra Boosters through a bank:

When logged in, click on option “Pay & Transfer,” then “Pay Bills & Send Money With Zelle.”
Choose “My Zelle Recipients,” then click on “Add New Recipient.”
Select “Send Money with Zelle.”
Type in the name you would like to assign to the recipient, such as “Novi High School Orchestra Boosters.”
Type in the following address in the space for Email: nhsorchestrat@gmail.com.
This is the email address set up by the Orchestra Booster treasurers.
Once you have created the Zelle link, you can transfer funds from your account to the Orchestra Boosters’ account to make payments.
When making a payment, please note the student’s name and purpose for the payment (banquet, orchestra fees & camp, etc). If you do not do this, our treasurers will not know where to apply the funds.

Zelle Quick Link

Can I Still Pay by Check/Cash? Yes! Zelle is just another option for families who prefer to make online

payments. Checks or cash are also perfectly acceptable.
