Automated Merchant Systems, Inc. (AMS) is the partner of choice for government entities that accept—or want to begin accepting—payment cards such as Visa and MasterCard. As an expert in both the credit card and electronic payments industries, AMS can help any state or local government agency offer retail, mail-order/telephone-order (MO/TO), or Internet payment options to customers.

Being an Approved Solutions Provider with companies such as Great Plains Software, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation, and SunGard HTE Inc., a proven leader in government information technologies, we are able to offer turn-key solutions that fully service the unique needs of government. AMS is not committed or bound to any one processing system, equipment manufacturer, service, or product, which means your agency will have full access to the best payment solutions available. In addition, we regularly educate our merchants on the latest news and information from the credit card and electronic payments industries, helping them to implement the best practices for their particular industry.

Your agency can realize multiple benefits from card acceptance, including: timely and guaranteed payment, better cash flow, less cash shrinkage, reduced handling costs, increased revenues, ability to automate payments (through programs such as Visa's Automatic Bill Payment Program and MasterCard's Recurring Payment Program), and higher productivity/better customer service. And with AMS as your merchant service provider (MSP), you can expect quality service, leading products and services that include electronic check conversion (ECC) and our Interchange Plus Program, clear-cut billing, and a solution that best fits your agency's needs.
