The Department of Revenue offers an electronic funds transfer (EFT) program that lets you pay City taxes from your bank account. This program allows taxpayers to submit payments using a specially formatted payment file. The taxpayer sends this payment file to their bank. The bank then sends a payment to the City through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network.

This program is best suited for large businesses and payroll services. Most individual taxpayers use one of our other tax payment options.
