Portage, Ind., Transforms the Municipal Payment Experience for City Residents and Staff with New Cloud Technology

Portage, Ind., Transforms the Municipal Payment Experience for City Residents and Staff with New Cloud Technology

Partnership with government cloud innovator CityBase provides 24/7 self-service kiosks and online technology for safer, easier, and more efficient bill payment

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CityBase, a leading provider of government and utility payment technology, today announced an agreement with the City of Portage, Indiana, to adopt improved payment technology that provides residents with safer, easier ways to pay their bills. An initiative of the Office of the Clerk-Treasurer, new self-service kiosks and online payments will allow people to securely pay their bills 24/7 while eliminating person-to-person contact during the COVID-19 pandemic. CityBase is a business unit of GTY Technology Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GTYH) (“GTY”), which provides SaaS/Cloud solutions for the public sector.

“This is a win-win solution for citizen experience and operational efficiency,” said Nina Rivas, Clerk-Treasurer for the City of Portage. “We’re resolving an immediate need to make payments safer in a pandemic for both residents and City employees. And we’re making long-term improvements to our payment system that will streamline revenue management for the City and promote convenience for our residents. We partnered with CityBase because their technology makes payments easier for everyone.”

The new technology will go live in early 2021 and includes intuitive online payments and two self-service payment kiosks that will be accessible 24/7, located at Portage City Hall at 6070 Central Ave Portage, Ind. The payment technology includes a back-office revenue management system that drastically simplifies the research, reporting and reconciliation process.

City utility bills including trash, sewer and stormwater are the first payments that will be compatible with the new technology. The City is providing a free way for people to pay their utility bills by eliminating service fees for cash, check, and recurring credit card payments.

The City was allocated CARES Act funding for the new payment technology as a COVID-related expense, since it provides a no-contact way for people to make payments. The cloud-based technology enables staff to securely maintain government operations while working remotely.

“We love working with public sector innovators like Clerk-Treasurer Rivas,” said Mike Duffy, CEO and Founder of CityBase. “She is committed to improving the government experience for all residents, including those who must pay their bills in cash due to preference or need. She is helping to usher in a new era for Portage, where both residents and employees will feel the benefits of human-centric technology and streamlined processes right away.”

CityBase has worked with neighboring Indianapolis and Marion County since 2017, where they helped the city-county transform their website indy.gov into a digital city hall. They recently partnered with Lawrence, Ind., to introduce contactless kiosk payments there.

More than 100 government agencies, utilities, cities, and counties use CityBase technology to provide hassle-free payments and digital services to their customers and staff.

BAE Systems Continues Advanced Seeker Production for Next-Generation Precision-Guided Missile

NASHUA, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

The seeker comprises long-range sensors and targeting technology that help the stealthy missile find and engage protected maritime targets in challenging electromagnetic environments.

“Our warfighters need resilient, long-range precision strike capabilities to compete with modern adversaries,” said Bruce Konigsberg, Radio Frequency Sensors product area director at BAE Systems. “We’re proud to partner with Lockheed Martin in delivering this distinct competitive advantage to U.S. warfighters.”

LRASM combines extended range with increased survivability and lethality to deliver long-range precision strike capabilities. LRASM is designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of ships by employing advanced technologies that reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links, and GPS navigation in contested environments.

This LRASM seeker contract continues the transition of the program from Accelerated Acquisition to Low Rate Production. BAE Systems has delivered more than 50 systems to date that have demonstrated excellent technical performance over multiple test events. The company also is working to make the seeker system smaller, more capable, and more efficient to produce.

BAE Systems’ LRASM seeker technology builds on the company’s decades of experience designing and producing state-of-the-art electronic warfare technology, and its expertise in small form factor design, signal processing, target detection, and identification.

Work on the LRASM sensor will be conducted at BAE Systems’ facilities in Wayne, New Jersey; Greenlawn, New York; and Nashua, New Hampshire. For additional information, visit: www.baesystems.com/lrasm.

CAST urges retailers to promote inclusivity and accept all modes of payment this holiday season

Despite the extremely low risk of COVID-19 transmission through the handling of currency, some retailers continue to discourage or outright refuse cash as a payment method

MONTREAL, Dec. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As businesses, consumers and communities continue to struggle with the second wave of the pandemic, the Canadian Association of Secured Transportation (CAST) urges retailers to accept cash as a form of payment.

“Early in the pandemic, many businesses started refusing cash for fear of COVID-19 transmission. But by the spring, the evidence was clear that cash poses no greater risk than bank cards. Unfortunately, and despite this, some retailers persist in discouraging cash as a payment method or refuse it outright,” stated Steven Meitin, President of the Canadian Association of Secured Transportation.

Mr. Meitin added, “Bank notes are legal tender in Canada, and many citizens rely on cash to obtain essential goods and services, which has become more important than ever in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing social and economic repercussions. No consumer should be refused the right to pay with cash. Unfortunately, in Canada, there is no law or regulation that protects this right, and that needs to change.”

“Cash is inclusive and universally accessible. To deprive Canadians of this payment option is to penalize a large segment of the population, including some of the most vulnerable people in our society who may be unbanked or underbanked, who prefer the security of cash or who rely on cash for income. Let’s ensure that those among us who rely on cash to purchase goods in these difficult times – no matter the reason – aren’t unduly punished and that they have access to the goods they need this holiday season,” Mr. Meitin concluded.

The importance for retailers to accept cash was reiterated by the Bank of Canada on a number of occasions since the beginning of the pandemic. It stated that it “strongly advocates that retailers continue to accept cash to ensure Canadians have access to the goods and services they need. Refusing cash purchases outright will put an undue burden on those who depend on cash and have limited payment options.” Their full statement is available here.
