BOISE, Idaho -- (Business Wire)
The Idaho cities of Dubois, Plummer, Kamiah, Notus, Montpelier and
Hagerman are accepting credit
and debit cards for utility payments. Residents of all six
municipalities can make payments in person at their respective city
clerk offices. Four of the cities—Dubois, Plummer, Kamiah, and
Montpelier—offer online payments through their city websites as well.
“We have been receiving requests for this service for a long time, and
are very pleased to have finally stepped into the 21st
century,” Lisa Shenton, Dubois City Clerk said. “It has been very
convenient for our customers.”
Five of the six cities offer the payment service for utility payments
only, but the City of Kamiah also added the ability to pay for ambulance
fees. “This new payment service provides a handy option for customers to
pay their utility or ambulance bills online or in person,” Ken Law,
Kamiah City Clerk said. “Customers can now pay for a variety of services
online without having to drive to the clerk’s or ambulance office.”
The cities accept any credit
or debit card displaying a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American
Express logo.
Each city partnered with Access
Idaho to provide the payment processing service, PayPort.
The partnership operates under a self-funded model in which no tax
dollars or county funds were used to develop and none are necessary to
maintain the service.
Access Idaho’s PayPort
service now processes electronic payments for 34 municipalities
throughout the Gem State. In addition to PayPort, Access Idaho manages
the state’s official Web portal, idaho.gov,
and specializes in electronic government applications.
