Agency Priority Goal

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has committed to an Agency Priority Goal (APG) of improving the payment experience by cutting paper check payments and increasing the electronic payment rate to result in the conversion of 4.5 million paper checks to electronic payment options by FY 2025. 

To reach the APG by decreasing checks and increasing electronic payments, Fiscal Service is partnering with federal agencies to:

• Understand and evaluate payment recipients and business processes that are unique to each agency,
• Identify challenges specific to agencies and work together to develop solutions, and
• Support agencies in issuing electronic payments to cut cost and improve speed and security. 

Fiscal Service is available to address questions and discuss barriers and opportunities to improve the payment experience.   

Fiscal Service can help agencies with:

• Implementing electronic payment solutions,
• Developing targeted promotional materials (website resources, check inserts/postcards, letters),
• Evaluating processes and forms for enhancements,
• Analyzing payment data to help in identifying appropriate methods, and
• Supporting the agency with regulatory compliance.

We look forward to hearing from you. Please contact us at apg@fiscal.treasury.gov to request information or to set up a session to discuss opportunities to implement electronic payment solutions.
