School dinner payment app criticised for £10 refund fee

After pulling out of the market Squid is charging parents who want to withdraw their remaining funds

A payments company that was used by parents to pay for school dinners has drawn criticism for charging them 10 to withdraw the remaining funds in their accounts after it pulled out of the market.

Squid, which was used by 600 schools around the UK to take payments, stopped its service earlier this month after announcing in February that the accounts would be ending.
