PAYMENT UPDATE INFORMATION FOR UTILITY ACH CUSTOMERS

As you may have heard, fees will be assessed for those who pay their utility bill with an ACH/eCheck or a Debit/Credit card. The current software company is moving to a cloud-based platform and with that, the City must begin using not only the new software, but also their payment processing system, both coming with an increased price tag. The current system charges a fee that the City has been paying for the past 2+ years, however, with tax reform and cuts at the state level as well as ever increasing costs across the board, the City can no longer absorb these costs. This seems to be a new trend in the marketplace as things continue to become automated and cashless.

As a result of this change, the payment method attached to your FrontDesk account needs to be updated so that your account can be verified and you can authorize fees (see below). IF you do not have a login for FrontDesk, please contact City Hall at 563-556-8755 to provide your email address or email at info@cityofpeosta.org. We will send you a confirmation email for you to immediately activate your account.

The updating process is simple. Log into your FrontDesk account and follow these instructions:

Click on “Edit” in the Payment Preferences box.
Choose “Update Now” and complete the information in the Payment Details box. You can choose the “Method” in the drop down on the upper left corner of the payment details box. You may select a Debit/Credit card or eCheck option. (See fees below.)
After you complete the box and Save you will have two gray boxes with account information. You will need to click the box to “Set Primary” for the new method you just entered. When you do that you will agree and accept the terms. Both payment boxes will still be there. The old one should say that the payment method will be there until March 31. Just make sure that is not the one you have marked as your Primary payment method. After April 1 that box will go away. (See Screenshots below)

ACH processing fees:
- $1.30 per transaction up to $150.00;
- $1.95 per transaction between $150.01 - $2,500;
- $3.95 per transaction between $2500.01 - $25,000.00;
- $7.95 per transaction greater than $25,000.00

Credit Card/Debit Card processing: 3.5% with a $2 minimum

Updating payment information will be necessary before March 31, 2025. Any account which isn’t updated by April 1, 2025, will have their payment method suspended. Please update your payment method at your earliest convenience to avoid future payment disruptions.

As always, you may also mail your payment to PO Box 65; drop it off at City Hall during office hours; or drop it after hours in the drop box in front of the office located at 7896 Burds Rd.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Feel free to contact City Hall at 563-556-8755 or info@cityofpeosta.org if you have any questions or need any assistance.
