Municipalities Payment Processing

Many city, county and state agencies have to collect payments for items such as fines for violations to large tax payments. With the Bill Payer Suite from BankCard Central you can accept additional methods of payment besides just cash, money orders, and checks. We can even assist you in faster processing of checks and money orders.

There are many solutions that our Bill Payer Suite provides:

• Back Office Conversion (BOC)
  Image and batch checks and/or money orders and submit them electronically. This eliminates the need for making copies of checks and taking them to the bank for deposit. You are able to batch the checks and submit them electronically. You are also able access the images of the checks for 2 years. You will receive NSF notifications in half the time and will be able to automatically represent the checks for payment if you choose to. With the advanced reporting you are able to issue warrants, enforce liens and institute garnishments faster with electronic notification of NSF payments.



• Credit Card Processing
  Process credit cards in your office or through you website. This provides your defendants or debtors with alternative methods of payment and enables them to pay prior to court date or due date if possible without necessary coming in person. This also allows someone to pay that might not have the cash on hand at the time that payment is due.



• Debit Card Processing
  Process debit cards in your office. This provides your tenants with the ability to pay their court fees, fines and taxes with their checking account or savings account without having to write a check.

• Pinless Debit
  Process debit cards through your website. This provides your defendants or debtors with ability to pay their court fees, fines, and taxes with their debit card on your website. This can assist with more timely payments and reduce the foot traffic in your offices.

• Recurring Billing of Checks or Credit Cards
  If you allow payment plans for taxes or fines you can set these up once and be notified when payments are returned or declined. You have the flexibility of amounts and frequency and the instant notification allows you to take action in a timely manner.

Enhanced Reporting

The reporting that we provide to our Bill Payer Suite customers is robust and very customizable. Reconciling various methods of payments, returned payments, and balance due can be a time consuming nightmare. We assist by consolidating all of the Credit Card, Debit Card, Check, Money Order and ACH payments into one report. You can finally see what payments were collected from all methods in one day. You will be able to associate a client/customer number with each payment and download the reports into various formats. We maintain all cardholder information and check images on our secure PCI Compliant servers so that you will not have the possibility of a sensitive data breach.

Cost

Many municipalities have avoided accepting alternative methods of payments because they do not like the fees associated with them. There are Convenience Fee programs that can be created for your municipality if the payments are being accepted online to help cover the expenses.
