In January 2005 Kilkenny County Council introduced a new customer payment method 'BillPay' which now enables all rent and loan account holders to make payments at any Post Office inside or outside the county. This facility had already been in use by other agencies such as ESB and Eircom. All customers were issued with a BillPay payment card. Once swiped through a scanner in the Post Office (similar to a laser/visa payment) this card allows the customer make a payment towards his/her rent/loan account of the card holder.
This method of payment has proven to be very successful. During the year 33,552 rent/loan payments were made using this transaction method, which accounts for over 49% of all collections on rent and loan payments. It is envisaged that the BillPay percentage collection rate will increase even further during 2006.
The facility is currently being extended to Kilkenny Borough Council
