With a customer base that has grown by about 5% every year, Denton city administrators anticipate that InvoiceCloud’s easy-to-use self-service options will prove useful for customers and limit the time City employees spend processing payments. Additionally, the City chose InvoiceCloud’s user-friendly bill payment and management system with the intent to further drive adoption of paperless b****** services. Currently, only 30% of Denton customers are enrolled in paperless b******. Denton’s diverse population, including college students, was also a mitigating factor in implementing a solution that accepts a wide range of digital payment options.

“InvoiceCloud’s payment portal offers a lot of new exciting features that uniquely fit the needs of our customers,” said Denton Customer Service Manager Christa Foster. “We’re also excited about InvoiceCloud’s seamless integration with Harris NorthStar and SilverBlaze—we’ve experienced a lot of friction with our past online b****** solutions, and have been really impressed by the improved experience InvoiceCloud provides for both our customers and our employees.”

Denton utility customers who wish to register for online bill payment and other convenient payment options and scheduling features can visit here. Denton will continue to absorb the online payment convenience fee for customers.
