Automate Deposits/Reconcile Faster

When you use our payment services, we can schedule a daily email to your financial team in an Excel file format showing line item details of your STO batch header deposit and/or daily transactions each morning (or on a schedule that fits your needs).

We can customize the file in the format that’s compatible with your accounting software. Files can be sent to one person or a group email so multiple people receive the information. A growing number of state and local financial officers are taking advantage of customized reports. The report files are easy to set up, convenient to use and a big timesaver, especially if you process many transactions. Contact us to get you set up.

Open for Business and Taking Calls

In following Governor Little’s guidelines, the Access Idaho staff is working remotely until further notice. However, thanks to technology, we remain fully functional to continue supporting citizens inquiries, customer services issues (billing, refund requests, password resets, etc.) along with you and your staff.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or my staff. 208-332-0102 or webmaster@accessidaho.org
