Solving the Payment Challenges for Government Entities

Municipalities, counties and utility companies are pressed to do more with less. They are finding creative ways to leverage their existing staff and reduce costs.

That’s why our Remote Deposit Capture and e-check services makes so much sense, allowing you to make accepting checks for fines, license fees, taxes, or other services more efficiently, with faster cash flow.

These benefits make the choice of our RDC Service your best choice for paper check payment processing:

• Accounting Efficiency — Multiple accounts are supported, allowing one PC to process payments for all of your accounts.
• Faster Cash Flow — You’ll receive funding into your account in as little as 12 hours. Improve treasury operations and save your taxpayers money.
• Simplifies Remittance Scanning — Payment coupons that accompany checks can also be scanned and archived. All fields of typed and handwritten data can be captured by Optical Character Recognition; the software can also be easily and quickly customized for bar code capture.
• One or Multiple Locations — Our service supports one scanner in the back office, or multiple scanners scattered throughout your municipality.

Take your payment processing a step further and go paperless with CheckAlt E-check Service:

• Billing & Invoicing Made Simple — Provide residents the option of e-billing with the convenience of online payment straight from their bank account, while continuing to provide the option of printing and mailing in their remittance and paper check payment.

Reminder e-mails for unpaid bills make sure that residents remember to pay on time. CheckAlt also gives you the ability to accept “just-in-time” payments over the phone.
• Faster Cash Flow — You’ll receive funding into your account in between 24-48 hours.
