Merchant Accounts

Opening your very own merchant account offers a wide variety of benefits. All of them contribute to your income.

1. It's Easy

Accepting credit card payments online is convenient for your constituents.  By accepting online credit cards, your constituents will be able to pay their municipal bills and fees from the convenience of their home or office.

2. You Get Paid Faster

Credit card transactions are deposited into your bank account within 24-48 hours – much faster than the time that it takes to receive checks in the mail and then wait for them to clear.

3. You Save Time

You'll have secure, real-time credit card processing that allows you to authorize, settle, refund, and manage credit card transactions online.

4. You Save on Bank Fees

Governments that accept credit cards reduce or eliminate the volume of bad checks returned for "non-sufficient funds" (NSF) and the associated bank fees, penalties, and collections costs.

5 Your Municipal Building is Now Open 24 / 7

In this day and age, residents are looking for convenience.  The average resident may not be able to get to your municipal building during standard hours.  By accepting credit card payments through your municipal website, you remain open long after your doors are closed.
