The new system will enable faster register close-out procedures for clerks with less time spent counting cash drawers, and give state residents a more convenience payment option.
Implemented in all North Carolina’s 100 counties from May, the new system has already processed 24,000 transactions across the state collecting $4m in payments.
In order to use this payment system, credit/debit card payments must be $1,000 or less, and can be applied to criminal, civil and other fees.
