GMO Payment Gateway to Provide Payment Processing for New Online Tax Payment Certificate Service by Osaka Government
Tokyo – March 31, 2011 – GMO Internet Group non-face-to-face payment processing company, GMO Payment Gateway announces it has been selected to operate credit card payment services for the new Online Tax Payment Certificate Service to be introduced tomorrow by Osaka city government.
Background
In the current card-not-present credit card payment processing market, consumers are demanding a greater diversity of payment options, and the government is focused on strategic IT restructuring. The industry has expanded to include not only ecommerce but also electricity, gas and NHK license fee payments. Since the Local Government Act was revised allowing municipal bodies to accept credit card payments, a credit card payment option is increasingly being made available for public sector services.
Beginning April 1, Osaka city residents will be able request tax payment certificates online and pay associated fees by credit card.
Until now, Osaka city residents who required certificates of tax payment had to visit a ward office or tax office during business hours or send a request by post - costing time and money.
The opening of the online tax certificate request service enables Osaka residents to apply for certificates without leaving home, pay less fees and usually receive certificates in 1-2 days..
Osaka city has chosen GMO PG Public Sector Payment Processing service to process online payments for this service.
GMO Payment Gateway offers a proven track record in the implementation and operation of payment processing solutions together with high security systems.
