Early research into accepting credit cards led to several companies whose programs were simply cost prohibitive. The City was unable to absorb the costs involved. City Clerk Patty Parchen focused her search on what other Montana municipalities were using. “ We contacted several Montana Cities and they all had the same recommendation – PayGOV.US. PayGOV allows the City to accept online payments without paying the fees. Instead of all residents paying more to cover the costs only those that use the service pay a small convenience fee. Offering credit cards has been a goal for a long time, and I’m happy to report that now we do!”
