VerityPay, a secure, patented, digital payment platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Affion Public, an executive search firm serving local, county, and state government, education, and nonprofit organizations.
Scott Reilly, CEO and Founder of Affion, has spent years advising and placing city managers and senior public sector leaders across the country. Through that work, he has seen firsthand the pressure local governments face to find savings, run efficient operations, and deliver better service to residents. “City managers are being asked to do more with less, and residents expect the same convenience from their local government that they get everywhere else,” said Scott Reilly, CEO Affion Public. “VerityPay is one of the clearest opportunities I’ve seen for cities to lower costs and improve the resident experience at the same time. I’m excited to help the leaders I work with put it to use.” Together, VerityPay and Affion will help these leaders replace costly paper processes with a modern, digital experience.
Many municipalities still rely on paper checks both to pay residents and to collect payments from them. Residents mail checks to the city offices for a variety of services, and staff spend hours processing, depositing, and reconciling them. Paper checks can cost $8 to $10 each to issue once printing, postage, and staff time are factored in. VerityPay transactions start at $2.50.
