Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Smart Guide cut Anoka County support volume 30% within 60 days.
  • Minnesota DNR's June 9, 2026 licensing launch expands PayIt's non-tax workload.
  • Rockland County signed a multi-year April 7, 2026 deal, extending platform penetration.

What critics are saying

  • Tyler, Paymentus, and Euna bundle payments into broader suites, squeezing PayIt's standalone win rates.
  • Large-county contracts create concentration risk; one Harris County-style renewal loss hits revenue fast.
  • State procurement consolidation can replace point solutions with incumbents, killing PayIt's category entirely.

What makes PayIt unique

  • PayIt ships government-specific payments workflows, not generic fintech rails, across agencies and jurisdictions.
  • Harris County launched MyHarrisCountyTax in 100 days, proving fast public-sector implementation.
  • Smart Guide uses agency-only content, giving residents trusted natural-language service discovery.

PayIt partners with the Rockland County Clerk's Office to modernize and expand digital services.

PayIt partners with the Rockland County Clerk's Office to modernize and expand digital services. Cara Schwartzkopf April 7, 2026 Kansas City, Missouri, April 7, 2026 - PayIt, the leader in digital customer experience solutions for state and local governments, is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the Rockland County Clerk's Office to improve how residents access and pay for county services. This multi-year agreement delivers PayIt's cloud-based platform to Rockland County, New York, providing a modern digital experience that prioritizes security, convenience, and accessibility. The new PayIt platform will allow residents to complete Clerk Office filings, access records, and submit payments from any device, reducing paperwork, simplifying or eliminating office visits, and improving overall access. Beyond an improved user interface and experience, PayIt will also deliver a significant reduction in resident transaction fees compared to the previous system. The new system, built with PayIt's configurable platform, meets compliance and regulatory standards to deliver the highest level of protection to the Clerk's Office and the customers they serve. Previously, Rockland County relied on a single credit card payment option using a magnetic stripe reader, which required staff to physically take a customer's card, swipe it, and manually enter the information. The new platform simplifies the payments process, improving the experience for residents and streamlining staff operations. "As a part of our ongoing mission to serve our community, we are pleased to partner with PayIt and to provide a convenient, user-friendly experience to our residents," said Donna Silberman, Rockland County Clerk. "This partnership will allow us to expand services, reduce barriers to access, and build a modern government experience that grows with our community and its needs." The multi-year partnership will enable PayIt and Rockland County to continue to modernize, expand features, and enhance services based on resident needs, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. "We are excited to partner with Rockland County to usher in a new era of excellent resident experience and service via PayIt's world-class platform. Donna Silberman and the entire Clerk's Office staff have shown an ongoing commitment to finding innovative ways to better serve the public, and our secure, convenient platform will make interactions with the Clerk's Office more efficient and accessible," said Tom Nieto, President and Chief Operating Officer at PayIt. "This initial step in our partnership represents that commitment and lays the groundwork for the digital transformation of the County's services into the future." About PayIt PayIt enables state and local government agencies to deliver a great resident payments experience that accelerates the shift to digital. Agencies choose PayIt to better achieve their mission through improved operational efficiency, customer support, and resident satisfaction. Its solutions span property tax, courts, utilities, DMV, outdoors, and more. PayIt provides a single resident profile across agencies and jurisdictions, integrates into back-office and adjacent systems, and its team helps clients drive adoption of digital channels. Serving more than 150 million residents in North America, Payit has received awards from Fast Company and StateScoop, and have been listed in the GovTech 100 for 10 years and counting.
