"...Thanks for your excellent support. The implementation and day to day use of GovPayEXP services has been superb. This court is experiencing faster payments with fewer telephone queries and a reduction in correspondence costs. Usage has been on the increase from day one. My Canadian defendants have especially found it quite useful in not having to worry about converting dollars. It is not often that an organization has access to a free, effective and efficient service such as GovPayEXP"
