Using a third-party service, Spark CMS can connect with your bank's payment gateway to allow ratepayers to pay directly into your Council's bank account.
Payment gateways ensure that transactions are secure, efficient, and accurate, providing a seamless experience for both your Council (as the merchant) and your customers.
In a Nutshell
A payment gateway securely processes online payments by encrypting customer data, verifying funds with the bank, and completing the transaction.
