Good morning!
I'd appreciate it if you could respond to a quick survey concerning credit
card acceptance.
1) Does your City accept credit card payment for services, taxes, and
permits? If yes, do you accept credit card payments for all items or just a
select grouping? If a set grouping, which kinds of services?
2) What percentage of your transactions are handled via credit card
payments?
3) Does your City absorb the credit card company fee? If so, how much is
the credit card company fee and how do the costs get allocated back to the
departments (e.g. who shoulders the cost?)
4) Do any of you use a third party service to avoid the credit card company
fee and shift that transaction fee to the customer? If so, which company do
you use and what has been the political acceptance of this method?
5) Finally, are any of you accepting credit card payments over the
Internet?
Thanks for your help! I'll post the results shortly.
