Receiving Customers' Mailed Payments
Through MuniBilling’s Lockbox as a Service, your customers will mail their physical payments directly to our supported lockbox location.
Once received, our team of specialists sorts the payments into two groups: payments ready for importation and payments with outstanding errors that need to be corrected.
Examining and Correcting Exceptions
When payments are flagged for errors, they’re sent to our Billing Operation Specialists for human review, where our Specialists will review and reconcile them to the customer’s account.
Creating and Importing Files
Accepted and corrected payments are then uploaded directly into the Munibilling System, showing up immediately for reporting and analysis, and reflected in the customer account.
Reconciling and Recording Payments
After payments are imported, our Billing Operation Specialists review each payment to reconcile any additional discrepancies, double-checking all files for errors, missing data, or data sync issues.
Regular Auditing And Review
On a weekly and monthly basis, MuniBilling’s accounting department will triple-check the original files and continue reconciling batches to both our selected lockbox vendor’s bank and the client, ensuring all data is correctly and accurately entered and reflected.
Efficiently staffed utilities automate the mail payment process in some way
