The addition of electronic payment options expands resident convenience and increases collections. With PayGOV, Converse is able to provide cutting edge technology, without bearing the cost. Kathy Juillerat, Clerk Treasurer, chose the vendor after carefully reviewing the best option for the Town.
“We found PayGOV.US after searching for a sensible solution,” stated Clerk/Treasurer Abigail Lawson, “they came highly recommended by other cities and towns throughout Indiana and were the perfect choice for Kingman.” PayGOV.US provides the service to the town at no cost. Only the residents who choose to use the service for convenience are assessed a nominal fee.
The search for a vendor took longer than expected. Few were willing to accommodate the needs of the Town or were simply too expensive. Clerk/Treasurer Brenda Schneider found the right vendor after reaching out to surrounding Montana towns. The response was overwhelmingly in favor of one vendor, PayGOV.US. Mrs. Schneider explained, “PayGOV has positioned us to move forward technologically without absorbing the costs.”
In order to offer this service the Town has contracted with an Minority Owned Indiana based company known as a premier provider of electronic payments. PayGOV.US is a leader in merchant processing in the government sector. Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Stoops credits their success with their “ability to adapt quickly” to the changing environment. “We found PayGOV.US after searching for just the right company,” explained Clerk/Treasurer Linda Fisk, “ they came highly recommended by other cities and towns throughout Indiana.”
“We are pleased to continue to offer our electronic payment service to Sturgeon Bay at a reduced rate and to add electronic check acceptance. In this economy it is vital that every avenue is explored to increase revenue collection.” Remarked Jonathan Stoops, Chief Operations Officer for PayGOV.US. “Sturgeon Bay is a Utility on the forefront of innovation.”
Clerk-Treasurer Robyn Cook is to be commended for the expansion of service. "The addition of credit cards has been a long time coming, and I'm extremely happy to offer convenient payment options without placing that cost on the Town," explained Cook. "Residents have continually requested this and we are excited to begin!”
Safety Director Greg Berquest researched a dozen vendors before deciding upon a midwestern company. “PayGOV is known throughout the midwest as a great fit for government”, explained Mr. Berquest, “After a thorough search I am comfortable with our selection. We expect to work with them for years to come.” Special thanks to Julie Fish and Sherryl George who worked closely during the selection process and were able to negotiate a waiver of all costs to the City. This keeps the burden off taxpayers who do not use plastic. PayGOV.US is the preferred vendor for Ohio municipal government.
County Treasurer Linda Greene researched several dozen vendors before deciding upon Indiana based PayGOV.US. “PayGOV is known throughout Indiana Counties as a great fit for government”, explained Greene, “After an extensive search I have yet to find another company who will provide the same level of customized service while indemnifying the County. We expect to work with them for years to come.” PayGOV.US is the preferred vendor for Indiana municipal government.
Both Mayor Jack Woods and Clerk-Treasurer Jan Lynch are to be commended for their efforts in serving residents. " I'm extremely happy to report that the City continues to improve upon our goal of providing our residents with efficient customer service," explained Mayor Woods.
