Govolution specializes in providing technology and services that enable government organizations to accept and manage electronic payments from citizens and businesses. We are conveniently located in Arlington, Virginia. Govolution began in 1998 as a unit of Bixler Inc., a pioneer in the development of on-line financial transaction technologies. In that year, the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Management Service commissioned Bixler to develop a pilot electronic payment system to support Internet-based credit card collections (ICCC). Following the successful rollout of the pilot program, the platform evolved into the federal government’s enterprise credit card e-payment platform used by over eighty federal departments and agencies. In 2000, with the approval of the U.S. Treasury, Govolution spun off from Bixler as a new company. This offshoot included the operation and continuing development of the Department of the Treasury’s electronic payment platform. The platform was utilized for over 300 federal applications and processed over $3 billion in electronic transactions. In 2003, Govolution was again selected by the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank to assist with the design, implementation and adoption of the federal government’s next generation e-payment platform – Pay.gov. This new enterprise e-payment platform was successfully deployed and is now being used by all 15 cabinet-level departments and more than 85 individual agencies. Govolution leveraged the success, experience and industry expertise gained in the federal government sector to expand into state and local governments and utilities. Our premier solution, the Velocity Payment SystemSM, is the product leader in the industry. Our clients include local customers such as Fairfax County (VA), the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC), and the State of Delaware. Other clients include: City of Cambridge (MA), Kern County (CA), City of Dallas (TX), and the State of Arizona. To date, Govolution has deployed more than 1,000 e-government tax and non-tax payment applications for the public sector. In 2005, Govolution, Inc. was acquired by First American Payment Systems, LP. Govolution, LLC now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of First American.
