Predictable Revenue

By creating the opportunity for customers to make automatic payments, your agency’s budget can become more reliable and predictable. As customers securely register their credit/debit or bank account with their online utility profile, the likelihood of missed or late payments is minimized.

Reduced Administrative Effort

For example, for utility customers experience reduced truck rolls and shut offs  through enrolling customers into automatic payments. Or for Building and Permitting departments this could result in faster collections of re-inspection fees or expiring permit fees. Decreased staff effort and resources increases agency revenue and allows your staff to focus on higher priority tasks.
