GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The City of Grand Rapids is getting a new app that will make paying your bills easier and less expensive.
The change means the elimination of annoying processing fees for most online credit card payments. And you will be able to link all of your bills together, so you can pay them in seconds.
“We want to make it so that you can do business with the city at any time, anywhere and on any device,” John Globensky, Grand Rapids’ treasurer, told 24 Hour News 8 on Monday.
Places like St. Louis and Kansas City are already using the system. All you will need is an email and password to log on. Your credit card and bank information will be linked to your account.
Currently, Grand Rapids residents who pay bills online are charged a fee that can range from a few bucks to more than $100. With the app, that will no longer be the case for everything except income and property taxes.
The app will give users notifications though text, email or the app about due dates and new bills, among other things.
