Merchant Account Information
To accept online payments, a merchant account is required. Any government entity may utilize an existing merchant account. If no merchant account exists, then state agencies may contact the State Treasurer’s Office to set up a new account, and municipalities may contact their local banking institution for merchant account information and setup.
For State Accounts: If a new merchant account is required, please complete the Treasurer Form so the Treasurer's Office has the necessary information to proceed. The State Treasurer’s Office should also be able to provide information on questions related to PCI compliance, merchant agreements, etc. Once the merchant account has been set up, the State Treasurer’s Office needs to send the VAR Sheet to OK.gov to complete the setup process. Once OK.gov receives the completed VAR sheet, it may take approximately two weeks to complete the setup process.
State Treasurer’s Office Contacts:
• Betty Pearson, Treasury Services Manager - (405) 521-6070
• Diedra O'Neil, Treasury Services Coordinator - (405) 522-4256
For Municipal Accounts: If a new merchant account is required, please speak with your local banking institutions to get the best rates possible. Once the merchant account has been set up ,OK.gov will provide your office with a VAR sheet that must be filled out for each payment type. Once OK.gov receives the completed VAR sheet, it may take approximately two weeks to complete the setup process.
Online Portal Fees
• Oklahoma Statute Title 62, Section 41.5: Authorizes state agencies to charge a convenience fee for online transactions and requires approval by the Government Technology Applications Review Board (GTARB).
• Bill Pay System: OK.gov has received approval from GTARB to assess a $1 portal fee to all agencies using the OK.gov Bill Pay System.
• Billing of Fees: All monies (agency and portal fees) collected online will be funneled to the government entities' merchant account. It is up to each government entity to determine whether the portal fee is absorbed by the government entity or passed along to the end user. The Oklahoma Office of State Finance will bill the government entity on a monthly basis to collect the portal fees. Additionally, the government entity is responsible for all merchant fees.
