NOTICE WHEN MAKING PAYMENTS IN ACCELA CITIZEN ACCESS:

The payment vendor has enacted a “carding fraud” alert that will block all payments through Accela Citizen Access if there are too many declined transactions. If you get a declined transaction, please try the following:
  • ensure you enter the correct 9-digit routing number/check number and/or credit card number, address, name and account information prior to submitting for payment
  • wait 120 seconds before running the same transaction type/card/check again
We are working to find a solution and appreciate your patience for any inconvenience this may cause. A carding block should be lifted within the hour when this occurs.
