The payment processor expects that the revenues under the agreement will start generating in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Currently, there are almost 600 participants in the E-Pay programme, including agencies at all levels of the Illinois State and local government, with card processing volumes expected to exceed $600m per year.

During the term of the agreement, JetPay will work through its partnership with the E-Pay programme to expand services and add additional government entities across Illinois.

JetPay CEO Diane Faro said: “Our JetPay Payment Services, FL operation provides us an exciting new technology platform, 'MAGIC', which we believe is the clear leader in government and utility payment services with its ease of use, its ability to integrate with our customers' software and its real-time reporting engine. We believe these capabilities were a key element in JetPay being awarded this opportunity with the State of Illinois.
