Access Idaho Launches OntheGo Secure Government Mobile Payment App

The app’s unique store-and-go functionality
makes mobile payments possible anywhere, anytime
State agencies, counties and cities in Idaho have the ability to
do something no other government entity can thanks to Access Idaho
and its OntheGo (OtG) Android app: take mobile payments outside of
Wi-Fi or cellular coverage.
Downloadable for free from the Google Play Store, OtG is offered
exclusively to government entities for capturing credit and debit
card payments with any Android smart phone or tablet in the field,
at conferences and events, or whenever funds need to be collected
outside the office.
An optional, encryption-enabled swipe card reader gives OtG its
industry-first “store-and-go” distinction. If outside cell or Wi-Fi
coverage, the reader stores transaction data securely. Upon
connecting to a service area or Wi-Fi network, the application
automatically processes the pending payments. If within range, a
payment processes within seconds, like other mobile payment
services. An email receipt can be sent automatically or manually
after a transaction.
Financial officers can reconcile deposits and view/print
exportable, real-time billing reports for transactions. Transaction
reports are accessible from the Android device or any computer with
internet access, and the information never “expires.” All
transaction information is password-protected and transmitted via a
secure connection.
The mobile service accepts American Express, Discover,
MasterCard, and Visa payments through Access Idaho’s secure payment
processor.
Access Idaho currently offers OtG to state, county and city
government entities in Idaho only. However, plans include state and
local government entities throughout the U.S. There are no merchant
fees or monthly minimums, and technical as well as marketing
support is also provided at no cost.
OtG meets Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards and ties into
Access Idaho’s payment engine, which is designed specifically for
government and securely processes more than $25 billion
annually.
An earlier version of OtG won a 2012 Best of the Web Digital
Government Achievement Award from eRepublic’s Center for Digital
Government as one of the nation’s best government-to-citizen
applications.
