15 Program Management
16 Key Biller Decisions Leverage Who can charge convenience fees? What alternatives & incentives are available Education Tax Payments Utilities Property Mgmt Analyzing Processing Costs (e.g., Interchange) Lower emerging market interchange rates (Visa/MC Utility rate programs) Higher ticket transactions may require a convenience/service fee program due to cost Charge a convenience/service fee or absorb the costs associated with payment acceptance? Fee Calculation & Management What payment networks do you want to accept? Balancing fee revenue over all payment networks 16
17 Key Biller Decisions Resources Pricing & Adjustments Maintaining compliance Servicing Biller Managed Third Party Managed Managing Adoption Rates Drive usage or expedited payments Alternate payment channel usage Without a fee: 10% 40% With a fee: 1% 3% 17
18 Biller vs. Third Party Managed Biller Managed All aspects of the program are managed by the Biller Biller defines fee(s) to be charged to Consumer Biller receives payment and convenience fee All Month end fees are paid by Biller Biller can define if program generates revenue (fee collected is higher than processing costs), is revenue neutral, or partially subsidized (fee collected is lower than processing costs) Biller is responsible for compliance of the program VS Third Party Managed Third Party will manage the program Third Party will define the fee(s) to be charged to the payer All fee based revenue is typically retained by Third Party All month end fees are typically paid by Third Party Third Party programs are generally revenue neutral to the biller Third Party is responsible for compliance of the program 18
19 Case Studies
20 Property Taxes Many local governments are prohibited from collecting revenue for payment processing Many governments cannot budget in credit card interchange Property taxes can be paid by credit card with convenience fee Card Fee can be percentage ACH Fee can be Flat Two transactions Second transaction to third party processor Need to analyze payment network distribution (ACH vs. Credit Card vs. ATM Debit) Example Average Property Tax Payment : 3,000 Annual Tax Payments: 10,000 Estimated Annual Online Payments: 2,000 Credit Card ATM Debit Card Card Total ACH Debit Distribution 60% 20% 80% 20% Payment Costs 2.5% $.70 $56.42 $.10 Payment Network Costs $90,000 $280 90,280 $40 Est. Conv. Fee $56.45 $56.45 $
21 Higher Education Many universities or local colleges are unprepared to manage and collect convenience fees.

Credit Card v ATM Debit) Example Average Tuition Payment : $6,000 Annual Tuition Payments: 25,000 Annual Online Payments: 7,500 Credit Card ATM Debit Card ACH Debit Totals Distribution 80% 20% 20% 100% Payment Costs 2.5% $.70 $.10 Network Costs $900,000 $1,050 $150 $901,200 Est. Conv. Fee $ $
