PORT Macquarie Hastings Council (PMHC) has launched a new payment platform to give ratepayers flexibility and control over rates and water payments.
Called “Payble”, the platform allows property owners to pay in full before the due date or split their bills into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments.
SMS and email reminders can be set up and real-time balances will be available 24/7.
A property verification feature will help prevent errors, while missed payments will be automatically rescheduled to avoid accounts being overdrawn.
In a Council statement, Chief Finance Officer Rod Archer said the new platform will complement existing payment options.
“When it comes to managing finances, we understand that one size does not fit all.
“The aim is to provide additional flexibility and support for those who may benefit from payment plans, reminders, and other tools to help manage their bills.”
Ratepayers can use their mobile phone or email address to sign up to Payble by scanning the QR code in rates notices; typing pay.pmhc.nsw.gov.au in a web browser search bar; or going to Council’s website and selecting “Pay Online” on the homepage.
