Customers now have convenient credit and
debit card options
The Idaho cities of Dubois, Plummer, Kamiah, Notus, Montpelier
and Hagerman are accepting credit and debit cards for utility
payments. Residents of all six municipalities can make payments in
person at their respective city clerk offices. Four of the
cities—Dubois, Plummer, Kamiah, and Montpelier—offer online
payments through their city websites as well.
“We have been receiving requests for this service for a long
time, and are very pleased to have finally stepped into the 21st
century,” Lisa Shenton, Dubois City Clerk said. “It has been very
convenient for our customers.”
Five of the six cities offer the payment service for utility
payments only, but the City of Kamiah also added the ability to pay
for ambulance fees. “This new payment service provides a handy
option for customers to pay their utility or ambulance bills online
or in person,” Ken Law, Kamiah City Clerk said. “Customers can now
pay for a variety of services online without having to drive to the
clerk’s or ambulance office.”
The cities accept any credit or debit card displaying a Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, or American Express logo.
Each city partnered with Access Idaho to provide the payment
processing service, PayPort. The partnership operates under a
self-funded model in which no tax dollars or county funds were used
to develop and none are necessary to maintain the service.
Access Idaho’s PayPort service now processes electronic payments
for 34 municipalities throughout the Gem State. In addition to
PayPort, Access Idaho manages the state’s official Web portal,
idaho.gov, and specializes in electronic government
applications.
