General E-Check Payment Information

An electronic check is a one-time, electronic funds transfer from your bank account that allows you to pay a government agency or other entity via the Internet, without actually writing a check. It is essentially an electronic version of a paper check, which includes date, payee name, dollar amount, digital signature, bank account number and routing number.

CONVENIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY
Using an electronic check to pay your taxes, fines and fees is fast, convenient, secure and easy. No need to prepare a paper check and send it through the mail several days before the due date to ensure a timely payment. No need to stand in long lines at the government agency to pay in person.
You will receive a digital receipt with a confirmation number once your electronic check has been authorized and your payment is completed. The confirmation number is proof that your transaction has been successfully processed. We recommend that you print out the digital receipt for your records as proof of payment.

PROVEN SAFE AND RELIABLE
Official Payments uses the best encryption technology available. Bank account information is not passed to any of our government clients and payment data is passed using hardware encryption. Transactions are processed using a leased line connection to the electronic check processor. Official Payments partners with VeriSign to ensure the highest level of security.
