• You call to confirm receipt and send a paper receipt
WITH MUNIBIT
That PDF becomes a digital form
• Resident fills out the form and pays by card in one step
• You receive the payment and organized data immediately
• Email confirmation goes to the resident automatically
• No stamps, no checks, no manual entry
*Submitted in under 60 seconds

ACCESSIBILITY
Don't let your payment processor become a legal liability.
Most third-party payment processors are black boxes. Your government has no control over their screen-reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, or color contrast. Under ADA Title II, that matters.
Munibit payments are part of the same platform as your website. That means a single, unified experience built to support WCAG 2.2 AA from the first form field to the final receipt.
Screen-reader compatible throughout the payment flow
Full keyboard navigation on every payment form
Built to support WCAG 2.2 AA, above the 2.1 AA legal floor
No patchwork vendor integrations to audit separately
The ADA Title II Deadline
Local governments under 50,000 population are required to meet WCAG 2.1 AA website standards by April 26, 2028. That includes online payment pages. A third-party payment processor your government does not control is a risk most municipalities have not considered yet.
Munibit websites support WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. All Local Governments should review their specific compliance obligations with their legal counsel.
