David Leary, Interim <br /> Treasurer/Tax Collector discussed the credit card payment program with <br /> the Board of Selectmen. <br /> The credit card payment program would accommodate residents who <br /> would like the convenience of paying taxes and fees online. With UniPay, <br /> real estate taxes,excise taxes,utility bills, licenses, fees,permits and <br /> registrations can be paid online using the Town's website <br /> www.mashpee.ma.us. There is no cost for the municipality. The program <br /> is beneficial to the Town in that payments are processed automatically, <br /> allowing a faster balance reconciliation. It was noted that UniBank <br /> utilizes state-of-the industry encryption methods to safely handle the <br /> transaction to prohibit access to bank account information. Credit card <br /> fees are determined by the credit card.provider. There is no fee charged <br /> for electronic check transactions. <br /> The Selectmen were supportive of the program. It was agreed that credit <br /> card machine would be placed in the main hallway of Town Hall. The <br /> online payment program would begin with Town Clerk inspectional <br /> service fees. <br />
