Press Release - For Immediate Release
Internet Collection Service Offered to Local
Government Williamsville, NY- June 12, 2006 - An affordable Internet collection solution is being offered to municipal clients of KVS Information Systems through a joint effort with Municipal Payments, an internet solution company located in Cortland, NY. Municipalities enrolled in the service may collect various types of payments, such as utility and tax bills, from residents who use the website www.municipal-payments.com. Residents simply enter their state, municipality, and bill type, select the bills and payment method of credit/debit card or electronic check, and print a receipt. The service is offered for a fraction of the financial commitment required of an in-house solution, according to Brian Campbell of Municipal Payments. Enrollment cost is based on the municipality's population and recurs annually. "Online payments are secure, easy, and take just a few minutes to complete," noted Valerie Peterson of the Office of Technology at the City of Oneida, NY. Oneida has been using the service to accept on-line payments for water/sewer and tax bills since September 2005. "With each quarter, the city has seen a rise in use and as a result has been able to provide an easy collection solution customers were asking for," she added. "This is another example of providing Internet solutions to our local government clients so they can provide better services to their citizens," added KVS President Ed Warnke. About KVS KVS Information Systems, Inc., a leading provider of municipal software solutions since 1969, is located in Williamsville, NY, with a regional office in Ohio.
