BOISE, Idaho -- (Business Wire)

The Idaho Commission on the Arts now enables citizens to pay online using credit and debit cards, thanks to Access Idaho’s PayPort secure payment processing service.

“We have found PayPort to be easy to administer and cost-efficient to use,” said Stuart Weiser, Commission on the Arts Deputy Director. “We currently use PayPort to process registration payments for our annual Arts Powered Schools Institute. Given how simple and fast it was to set up, we can envision using PayPort for other programs in the future. It’s a good system.”

The Idaho Commission on the Arts is planning to expand its services with PayPort to include a donation site in the near future.

The commission accepts any credit or debit card displaying a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express logo.

The partnership between Idaho Commission on the Arts and Access Idaho 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.

Idaho Commission on the Arts is the 30^th state agency to implement Access Idaho’s PayPort payment service. In addition to PayPort, Access Idaho, a subsidiary of NIC, manages the state’s official Web portal, idaho.gov, and specializes in online government applications.
