October 18, 2011 - Government Payment Processing announces the long awaited Visa Compliant Government Credit Card Terminal, available at NO COST for qualified City and County Treasurers, Tax Collectors and Clerks. The terminal is designed to allow Collectors to easily process over-the-counter and over-the-phone payments, including tax payments, in compliance with Visa and MasterCard rules, at No Cost.

This NEW TECHNOLOGY allows the user to select the department, enter a customer or bill number and payment amount and process the payment rapidly and efficiently. Our proprietary technology automatically calculates the convenience fee assessed back to the citizen, as a separate line item including Visa's $3.95 incentive convenience fee for tax payments made using a Visa debit card. The County or City is never involved in the collection of the convenience fee.
