Credit Card Provider Update

Columbia Township has successfully implemented Point and Pay as our new service provider for all credit card payments. We have been extremely pleased with the interface to our BS&A Software programs which enables the resident to quickly and seamlessly make credit card payments on-line. The Summer tax cycle showed an increase in credit card usage, so all improvements to the on-line payment process is welcomed by all users
