What Lumion Payments is
Lumion Payments provides tuition payment plans and licensed servicing for career, trade, and technical schools. Options include paying in full with a 5% discount, a 12-month 0% interest plan, and deferred tuition beginning at graduation with $0 down. Its plans are NMLS-licensed in 48 states and apply state-specific rules automatically. Students can use a portal for a real-time payoff quote and receive a contract-satisfied letter after payoff. Auto-charge accepts cards, ACH, and Apple Pay, with NACHA compliance, smart retries for soft failures, and escalation for hard failures. Lumion says 16 US-based servicers handle late payments and reports a 91.7% payback rate for a 36-month cohort. The service supports recurring billing, autopay, financial-aid workflows, web access, and an API. Payments is a $250 a month add-on; Core, Plus, and Pro cost $495.00, $795.00, and $995.00 per month.
