Access Idaho offers On-The-Go to government agencies without merchant fees or monthly minimums, and provides technical and marketing support at no cost to state or local government entities.
The application is compatible with Bluetooth swipe card readers, which can capture customer credit card information securely whether or not devices are within cell or Wi-Fi coverage. Upon connecting to a service area or a secure Wi-Fi network, pending payments will automatically process.
“Thirteen years ago, Access Idaho was founded with the goal of making government interactions more convenient for businesses and citizens,” said Bill Farnsworth, Enterprise Applications & Support Manager, Idaho Office of the CIO. “This year’s Digital Government Achievement Award honor continues to validate the state’s continued focus.”
