About Govt Portal
We Speak Both IT and City Hall
We’re not just another payment vendor.
We’re IT professionals who’ve spent years in the trenches with municipalities—and we built Govt Portal because we lived the pain firsthand.
The Problem We Saw
Municipal payment chaos that we’ve experienced ourselves
Picture this: Your Parks Department uses one payment processor. Public Works uses another. The Clerk’s office has its own system. Suddenly, your Finance Director is drowning in seven different portals, nine spreadsheets, and a reconciliation nightmare that takes weeks—not days.
We’ve been there. We’ve seen cities spend more time wrestling with payment systems than actually serving citizens. We’ve watched IT departments juggle incompatible hardware across departments. We’ve seen the EMV liability shift catch municipalities off guard.
There had to be a better way.
Our Expertise: Where IT Meets Municipal Operations
