Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Credit card processing for government agencies is the payment infrastructure that allows municipalities, public utilities, and government departments to accept credit card, debit card, and ACH payments from citizens and businesses. Government payment processing needs to handle a wide range of payment types — permits, utility bills, licensing fees, and intergovernmental transfers — while meeting strict security requirements and integrating with government accounting systems.

Government agencies accept credit card payments through an online payment portal, a virtual terminal for phone or mail-in payments, or in-person terminals at service counters. EBizCharge connects to your existing accounting software so payments apply to the correct account automatically, with no manual reconciliation required.

Level 2 and Level 3 processing refers to additional data fields passed during a credit card transaction, such as tax amounts and purchase order numbers. When an agency captures this data at the point of sale, the transaction qualifies for lower interchange rates. For agencies processing significant volumes of purchasing card payments, this reduces processing costs without requiring any extra steps from your team. EBizCharge captures Level 2 and Level 3 data automatically on every eligible transaction.

Many government agencies are permitted to pass processing costs to the payer through a convenience fee program, though rules vary by state and card network guidelines apply. EBizCharge offers a built-in convenience fee program. Agencies should verify applicable state regulations before implementing any fee program.

EBizCharge supports credit card, debit card, and ACH payments for permit fees, utility billing, licensing and registration, municipal court payments, inspection fees, and other government use cases. Every payment posts directly into your accounting system with no manual entry.

EBizCharge integrates natively with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, NetSuite, Acumatica, SAP Business One, Epicor, and Sage. Payments post directly into your system and match automatically to the correct account or invoice, keeping financial records accurate without additional steps from your finance team.

EBizCharge is PCI DSS Level 1 certified and uses tokenization and end-to-end encryption to protect cardholder data. Card information is never stored within your agency’s systems, which reduces PCI scope and limits liability. Fraud prevention tools and secure vault storage are included on every account.

Most agencies are live within two to three business days. The application takes about 15 minutes, approval typically comes within one to two business days, and your accounting system integration is handled by EBizCharge during onboarding. Staff training is included before go-live at no additional cost.
