Prineville, West Virginia — October 29, 2008 — Wyoming County Chief Tax Deputy, Pamela Trent, reminds residents that they may use an American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard® or VISA® credit card, or debit card to make real estate and personal property tax payments at the County Courthouse. The Agency has contracted with Point & Pay, a third party vendor, to operate as an extension of the County’s customer support and payment processing services.
The service gives residents an alternative way to make payments at the Agency’s counter. Depending upon individual card benefits, cardholders can even earn rewards such as airline miles or other bonuses when paying their taxes with a credit card. A nominal fee is calculated and charged for this convenient service.
Since 1999, Point & Pay has offered taxpayers the ease of fulfilling payment obligations in real-time, conveniently and securely from anywhere with Internet or phone access.
“Credit card and Debit card payments continue to rise in popularity, reflecting the trend of using electronic payment methods instead of traditional, paper-based options,” said Joshua Rush, Director of Marketing for Point & Pay. “We are excited to bring this convenient payment option to the citizens of Wyoming County.”
Point & Pay enables government agencies and utilities to accept electronic payments from consumers and businesses for taxes, registrations, licenses, utility bills, and other services and fees using credit and debit cards or electronic checks — anytime, anywhere. Point & Pay is a subsidiary of Vesta Corporation, an innovator and worldwide leader in electronic commerce.
