Government fees demand flexible payment option

Managing a city, town or county is no small task, particularly when it comes to collecting fees.

Managing a city, town or county is no small task, particularly when it comes to collecting fees. Residents may accrue traffic violations, parking tickets and other debts that penalize irresponsible conduct and help maintain the efficiency of the community's revenue cycle. This is to say nothing of taxes, license fees and other sources of revenue. Having the ability to collect on these payments effectively is critical to keeping the community's finances healthy. 

However, this is easier said than done in places where paper systems are still dominant. The long lines and red tape that many consider synonymous with government can make it challenging for administrators to manage the volume of payments they're due to receive. One of the best ways to accelerate the revenue cycle for a government body is to open up a line of payment that allows citizens to address debts on the web. 

At Vantage, we support the Government Window platform which allows government decision makers to take processes online. The best part of our Government Window solution is that the platform comes at no cost to the governments that adopt it: User (citizen) service fees cover everything! If your local council or committee of decision makers is hard to sell on new ways of doing things, the cost-neutral implementation is a convincing selling point. 

Users can pay fees using the web, mobile applications and even kiosks that you can deploy in convenient areas of your jurisdiction. This allows payments to be made in real time, rather than waiting days or weeks for checks that are mailed. 

Contact Vantage today to set up a personal consultation, demo or custom proposal to meet your specific requirements.
