The Prague 2 municipality has taken a step towards modernizing public administration by introducing an electronic payment gateway, allowing citizens to pay most local fees, fines, and administrative charges through mobile phones or computers. The move is aimed at digitizing public administration and services and making it more convenient for citizens to access public services.

The payment gateway currently enables citizens to pay local fees for dogs, the use of public spaces, stays and entrance fees, fines, and cost reimbursements for administrative proceedings, administrative charges, and parking permits for paid parking zones. This means that citizens no longer have to wait in line at the office or post office to pay fees for their dogs or waste time paying fines. Instead, they can conveniently pay online and receive an instant payment confirmation.

The introduction of the electronic payment gateway is expected to bring significant benefits to citizens and public officials. The payment process is simple, requiring citizens to enter a variable symbol necessary for payment and confirm the transaction. After payment, citizens can verify the payment history and make any necessary adjustments to the payment amount.

The payment gateway can be accessed directly from the Prague 2 municipality’s website, and payments can be made using credit cards, transfers, e-wallets, or SMS payments. The gateway will simplify and speed up the payment process, enabling officials to record payments easily and avoid errors.

This move towards digitization is an important step towards improving public services and modernizing the municipality’s operations. It is expected to bring more efficiency, speed, and convenience to the payment process, allowing officials to record payments easily and avoid errors.

Overall, the introduction of the electronic payment gateway is a positive step towards improving public services and making it easier for citizens to access public services. It is also a significant move towards digitization and modernizing the municipality’s operations, which will ultimately benefit citizens and officials alike
