Today, Grant Street Group announced that Hernando County, Florida Tax Collector’s Office has gone live with PaymentExpress®, Grant Street’s electronic payment processing platform. Just north of Tampa on the Gulf Coast, Hernando County is home to over 170,000 citizens, and encompasses the cities of Brooksville and Spring Hill, Florida.
PaymentExpress provides the Hernando County Tax Collector’s Office with the latest in payments technology, including EMV, contactless (e.g. Apple Pay), and Point-to-Point-Encryption. This allows both ease of use and the highest security standards for Hernando County taxpayers when making payments at each of its three branch locations via credit cards and signature or PIN debit cards, or via online payments via credit cards, debit cards or electronic checks through the Tax Collector’s website.
“Grant Street’s focus on data security and innovation made the decision to use PaymentExpress an easy one,” said Sally L. Daniel, Hernando County Tax Collector. “Protecting my constituents’ data and giving them access to the latest, most secure payment options is critical to my mission of providing the highest level of customer service,” continued Ms. Daniel.
Hernando County joins 24 other Florida Tax Collector’s Offices that use PaymentExpress to collect nearly $3 billion in e-payments each year.
