The city of Bedford, Iowa, recently launched five new online
services to help citizens interact with their local government
enabling them to make online payments anytime, anywhere. Users can
make payments for multiple services including garbage account
deposits, renewing or purchasing pet tags, posting fees, paying
water deposits, and making utility payments. These new online
payment services allow real-time, over-the-counter transactions via
credit card, debit card or electronic check. The services are
available online at www.bedfordia.org.
“We are excited to be able to provide the convenience of online
payments to our citizens,” said Tammy Thompson, Bedford City Clerk.
“These services allow efficient interactions with the city at no
additional cost to taxpayers. With online payments, we are able to
ensure that accounts have sufficient funds at the time of
transaction, so we don’t have to worry about checks bouncing or
tracking down customers with insufficient funds.”
Bedford, Iowa, partnered with Iowa Interactive, LLC of Des
Moines, to provide payment processing solutions online and
over-the-counter. The online system, its payment module, reporting
tools and maintenance are provided at no cost to the city and
operate under a self-funded model where online services are
developed, deployed and maintained at no cost to the
government.
