HUMBOLDT, Iowa -- (Business Wire)
The city of Humboldt,
Iowa, launched two new services providing residents with a quick,
online alternative to a paper-intensive task. The registration
service enables online registrations and payment for youth sports
leagues, and the mobile
payment service processes paper registration payments
over-the-counter on a mobile device.
The registration
service, recently open for softball and baseball leagues saw a
significant increase in new registrations, doubling the amount of
registrations from the previous year. The service allows users to submit
participant information and make secure, real-time payments with a
credit card, debit card, or eCheck. Once payment is complete, users are
sent to a receipt page, and the Parks and Recreation Department receives
notification. The system’s robust administrative module gives staff
access to set costs and late registration dates, send notifications,
print lists or name badges, and duplicate or edit previously created
events for use during subsequent seasons.
The department will open the registration service to flag football and
volleyball in the fall. It will continue to accept paper registrations
authorizing payments using OntheGo,
a new mobile payment processing service, providing residents with a
quick, secure option for processing a paper registration with a credit
or debit card. After a successful transaction, a receipt is emailed, and
the administrative module provides real-time reports for reconciliation.
“This time of year has always been busy for our staff,” said Susan Rutz,
Humboldt Recreation Director. “I save hours each day with this process
automated online, and our citizens are excited about the convenience of
this service.”
The registration and mobile payment services are a result of a continued
partnership between the city
of Humboldt and Iowa
Interactive, LLC of Des Moines. In March, the city began accepting
online payments with PayPort,
Iowa Interactive’s payment processing system.
“As Iowa’s state eGovernment partner, we’re pleased to extend our
services to local government,” said Jason Johns, Iowa Interactive
President, General Manager. “Our mission is to streamline Iowa citizens’
and business’s access to government information and services.”
