Our water department insists on check.....or bank autopay check because it's ran by a bunch of stodgy ass old people. Yet they Facebook. I asked about *gasp* credit cards, and you'd have thought I called for free water for everyone. One old bat turned into a Facebook badass and got real shitty with me on the FB community page.
Hell I'd even volunteer to help them get it going, but apparently we're stuck in the 70's like back when they were hired. I can just see them smoking in their back office with their pencils and ledger paper. Checks are a pain in the ass. ___________________________ Mangled by my iPhone. ___________________________ Tyler Treat Corn Belt Technologies, Inc.

Credit card auto pay has a higher percentage chance of being on time than checks. We encourage our customers to charge a check processing fee or at least give a discount to auto payers. I know we spent a lot more time tracking down checks and had very few come in on time than the small fee you pay for credit cards. How much does it cost you in labor to track down deadbeat check payers? For us, the convenience was worth more than the charge.

For good reason. I hate companies that do this.

Basically, this feature would automatically apply a fixed or percentage based fee to the bill for all credit or debit card payments. It would also warn the customer of this charge before they setup auto pay or submit manual payment. We would continue to allow ACH or eCheck withdrawal for free but charge for customers to use credit/debit payment method as those costs are 2-4% of the total customer bill, which we don't want to eat the cost of. Please vote for this feature if you think you might be even a little interested in this so it is available when you are.
