Scopay is made by Tucasi Limited, company 05060375 in England. Since January 2025 Tucasi has been owned by Vesta Software Group Limited, which is controlled by Constellation Software UK Holdco. Jonas, a Constellation subsidiary, bought Tucasi in October 2012.

Who do I contact if I have a problem with my Scopay account?

Contact your child’s school and give your Scopay email address and a description of the problem. Scopay says that data protection rules stop it from helping parents directly. The school passes the problem on to Tucasi.

How do I get a refund from Scopay?

Ask the school office and give the item, the original payment date and the amount. Refunds for trips and events are at the school’s discretion. Credit cannot move to a new school, so ask the old school for a refund.

About Scopay

Scopay is an online payments system for UK schools, made by Tucasi Limited. Parents use it to pay for school meals, trips, clubs and uniform, pre-order meals and book parents’ evenings. Parents log in at www.scopay.com/login or in the free Scopay app with their email address and password. A new account needs a link code from the child’s school. Tucasi belongs to Vesta Software Group, part of Constellation Software, and in September 2026 it started to relaunch under the Scopay name.

Scopay collects money that parents owe a school. The school lists meals, trips, clubs, wraparound care and shop items. Parents add them to one basket and pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. A school can also offer cash payments at PayPoint. The money settles to the school weekly by BACS, and the school can route part of it to a third party such as its caterer.

Tucasi Limited was incorporated in England on 2 March 2004. On 5 October 2012 Jonas, a subsidiary of Constellation Software, completed the purchase of Tucasi. At the time the release described Tucasi’s software as income management for UK primary and secondary schools. The SCOPAY app came out on the App Store in April 2019. On 29 September 2026 the company announced that Tucasi is becoming Scopay and that Dinner Money is turning into Meal Management.

Since 1 January 2025 Tucasi Limited has been owned by Vesta Software Group Limited, according to Companies House. Vesta grew out of the UK business of Jonas Software and buys vertical market software companies. Vesta itself is controlled by Constellation Software UK Holdco. The registered office of Tucasi is at Howbery Park in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Scopay staff do not answer parents directly. Parents with an account problem contact their child’s school.

Not fit for purpose
“Not fit for purpose. It appears to have been designed without any ambition and certainly not the user in mind!”

So time consuming
“I have to go to each of my 3 kids’ pages and put in a payment amount.”
Wishing for summer · 22 April 2025 · App Store
Rubbish from Parents perspective.
“I love the ability to pay for school meals and trips online or via the app and check balances”
