Town Of Orleans Expands Payment Options For Utility Bills

Last updated on Wednesday, January 14, 2015

(ORLEANS) - PayGOV LLC (www.paygov.us) announced that Orleans residents are now able to pay utility payments by credit or debit card at utility office, over the Internet or via 24/7 LIVE operators at 1-866-480-8552.

The Town of Orleans is the latest Indiana municipality to offer electronic payments.

Orleans town officials are familiar with the financial struggles faced by many residents. In order to remain sustainable it is vital that every avenue be explored to limit municipal costs while increasing revenue collection. The Town is continually reviewing expenditures and cost savings initiatives to better service their citizens.

Special recognition must be given to Clerk-Treasurer Robert F. Henderson who is spearheading the effort to expand payment options.

"We have been seeking out the best options regarding electronic payment. Many of the solutions found were cost prohibitive," explained Henderson "PayGOV was chosen after consulting other Indiana municipalities. They have a superior reputation for customer service."

PayGOV.US, a leading provider of electronic payment options based in Indianapolis, and 2009 Indiana Companies to Watch Award Winner, has similar agreements with government entities and utilities in over 38 states.

PayGOV.US assesses a nominal convenience fee processing these transactions. American Express, MasterCard, Discover and VISA along with debit cards carrying a MasterCard or Visa are accepted by the program.

Citizens using credit cards with bonus rewards programs can, depending on their card's program, earn rewards, points, and cash-back on airline frequent flyer miles.
