Current customers include Circuit Court Clerks, Court Administrators, Treasurers, Sheriff’s, Probation Directors, Pre-Trial Administrators, Community Correction Director’s, and other government agency administrators. The company has quickly become a “rising star” in the payment processing industry for government agencies due in large part to the company’s ability to adapt to the requests of its customers, not the other way around! “Our whole business model is based on listening to the needs of the customer, then we together develop a processing and reconciliation model that fits each agency on a day-to-day basis”, stated Jeff Milner, Company President. Milner further states, “Our combination of Internet and operator-assisted solutions gives a government agency every advantage to divert payment traffic away from their already overworked staff while increasing collections. We have continued to be very successful in both competitive and new-market opportunities while developing a strong reference base.” The company projects aggressive growth to continue throughout 2005 and expects to add a new regional sales manager during each quarter. Marketing and sales efforts will be expanded into (12) twelve additional states, which will consist of new and competitive market opportunities.

Property taxes, court fines/costs, traffic tickets, cash bonds, probation supervision fees, community correction supervision fees, restitution, electronic monitoring fees, reimbursement fees, and civil fees, are just a few of the many payment applications processed by PayTRUST Solutions. In addition, private companies focused on the government sector have also found the services of the company to be very beneficial in collecting past due obligations, electronic monitoring fees, and ignition interlock fees.

Since sales and marketing efforts began in May, 2004, 26 contracts have been signed with agencies in the State of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Maryland. Approximately 40 additional contracts are pending approval that will also expand market presence in the States of Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

It appears our business model and focus is consistent with the value that elected and appointed government officials are looking for."
