City of Atlanta introduces billpay kiosks

ATLANTA — The City of Atlanta recently unveiled the first of a series of self-service bill payment kiosks that provide city residents with a convenient way to pay their monthly water and sewer bills. Mayor Shirley Franklin helped launch the new bill payment kiosks at a televised press event that showcased the kiosks' ease of use.

The City of Atlanta Watershed Department, which already accepts online bill payments, selected MontegoNet's NeoPay kiosks to handle the demand for in-person check and credit card payments, eliminating the need for employee involvement. In addition to delivering cost savings and allowing employees to focus on other tasks, the NeoPay kiosks expand residents' payment options.

"These bill payment kiosks underscore our commitment to better serving the needs of city residents," said Melinda Langston of Watershed Department. "Paying your water or sewer bill has never been so quick and easy."

The new kiosks represent just one facet of a citywide initiative to bring self-service payment and information options to Atlanta residents and visitors.
