BATAVIA, OH — Tim Rudd, Clerk of the Clermont County Municipal Court, announced today that his office is now accepting credit cards for over-the-counter payments of fines and costs on traffic and criminal cases.

Working in collaboration with the credit card processing company MSB, Rudd is the first Clerk of Court to accept credit card payments in the Clermont County court system. MSB does charge the customer a convenience fee for the use of their credit card processing system. MSB provided the processing equipment at no charge and the convenience fee to the customer is the only cost.

“The community development position in Clermont County is so important to our communities, and we did not take our search lightly,” said Claire Corcoran, President, Clermont County Board of County Commissioners. “Desmond hit the ground running in Clermont County, and his award demonstrates that we have much to gain from him.”
