Ottawa – As part of continuing service improvements to residents, the City of Ottawa today launched a new online feature allowing payment cards (credit cards and Interac Online) for online payment of accounts receivable (blue) invoices. Resulting from resident requests for more flexible online payment options, MasterCard, VISA and American Express, as well as Interac Online will now be accepted to make secure online payments for accounts receivable invoices as a new payment service.
Residents and businesses have asked for more flexible online payment options, and this service enhancement will make it easier and more convenient for residents and businesses to process their invoices with the City. Rather than having to mail a cheque or visit a client service centre, residents and businesses will be able to make their payments through ottawa.ca.
The invoices known as blue invoices due to the colour of paper on which they are printed, are usually issued for services such as facility rentals, property standards by-law infractions, returned cheques and motor vehicle damage to City assets. Clients who wish to pay their accounts receivable invoices online will be charged a 1.99 per cent service fee for transactions equal to or over $750. The City of Ottawa does not receive any part of the service fee which is charged by the third party payment processor, Paymentus Corporation.
“By asking anyone paying an invoice over $750 to pay all associated service charges, we are protecting the taxpayer,” explained Marian Simulik, City Treasurer. “While we are striving to offer better, more convenient and more accessible services, we also need to ensure we don’t shift any extra expenditures resulting from these conveniences across the entire tax base. Individuals or businesses who wish to pay online will need to assume these service costs.”
