Mobile Payment Service Processes Nearly $1,000
in One Day
The City of Meridian Police Department had everything they
needed to raise money for their K9 Unit except a way to take
electronic payments. That’s when they called upon Access Idaho.
“Access Idaho provided us with equipment to accept credit card
payments for our March event, which really boosted donations,” said
Berle Stokes, Patrol Lieutenant for the Meridian Police
Department.
A Meridian business donated 1,000 Meridian Police themed stuffed
dogs, with all proceeds from their sale earmarked for Meridian’s K9
Unit.
“To date, we have raised well over $10,000,” Stokes added. “The
money will be used to provide advanced training for our canine
teams and purchase ballistic vests for all the dogs. We also hope
to use future monies to perhaps purchase another canine.”
Access Idaho processes payments for other City of Meridian
departments, including the Mayor’s Office, Community Development,
the Clerk’s Office and Public Works.
“Access Idaho was a fantastic partner during this fundraising
effort,” Stokes said.
OnTheGo uses NIC’s secure payment processor that takes Visa,
