EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Utility Bill Online Payment System:
The City migrated to a new online payment system, Invoice Cloud, last April. The new payment system has additional payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and eCheck. The new site is also more user friendly and requires less steps to make one-time payments and set up an account.
One of the goals of migrating to the new website was to increase the number of customers setting up for autopay and email bills. One year in and we have seen an increase of over 50% for autopay and over 100% increase for paperless billing. Achieving this goal has helped reduce the amount of time and cost associated with processing payments in person and via the City’s drop box.
