ALLEN, Mar. 29, 2022 – CSG Forte, a CSG® CSGS company and the leader in complete and customizable digital payments, today announced a strategic partnership with Velosimo, the only provider of no-code, cloud-native, technology connectors. This partnership enables government agencies to easily connect and augment their technology stacks with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software vendors via a single processing partner.

"The ongoing pandemic has escalated the need for governments to provide contactless services, and in turn is driving the need for governments to offer complete payment services online for citizens and work-from-home employees," said Kris Trujillo, CEO, Velosimo. "It's phenomenal to add CSG Forte's industry leading digital payments solutions and expertise in secure online transactions to the Velosimo portfolio. The combination of Velosimo's revolutionary no-code, off-the-shelf connectors with CSG Forte delivers a connected experience for government agencies that increases efficiencies, improves service, and lowers costs through rapid and reliable interoperability of software systems."

With CSG Forte's award-winning payment gateway and Velosimo's no-code integrations, government agencies can now:

Offer citizens secure ACH (automated clearing house), electronic check and credit and debit card payments online and on-site at government agencies
Maintain no-hassle reconciliation, payment troubleshooting, service and convenience fees
Reduce costs by eliminating manual, error-prone reconciliation and lower credit card provider fees

"Velosimo's technology is second to none and seamlessly connects critical govtech software applications better than anyone in the market," said Jeff Kump, head of payments, CSG Forte. "A major pain point for government agencies is having multiple ACH and credit card processors. By connecting front-end and back-end govtech software vendors to a single integrated solution, CSG Forte and Velosimo's partnership eliminates the challenges of balancing, reconciling and automating processes for govtech agencies allowing them to create experiences that exceed industry standards."
