Point & Pay’s new partnership enables full integration of the company’s electronic payment solutions with the tax and fee assessing and accounting systems created by BS&A Software, a provider of powerful software systems for local government in Michigan.  Together, the systems enable Michigan citizens to pay local government taxes and fees online, over the phone, or in a government office by using an American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard® or VISA® credit or debit card.
