An Electronic Payment System for Revenue Collection in the Kassena Nankana Municipality

Abstract

Traditionally, revenue collection in Kassena-Nankana Municipal Assembly (KNMA), as in Ghana, was manual, with some ICT systems employed recently.This study designed an E-payment system for revenue collection in the KNMA. The research focused on the development and implementation of an electronic payment system, to facilitate revenue mobilization. The study utilizes tools such as HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, MYSQL, SQL, and other resources like VS Code, and payment APIs for the development of the system as well as azure key vaut and secureauth for incription and muti-factor authentication( MFA).As part of the research, it is revealed that, there is a strong willingness among people to embrace electronic payment methods for their taxes, finding it convenient to pay via the internet from anywhere. The E- system developed during this study demonstrated the flexibility expected of an Electronic Payment System, allowing users to create and update accounts, make payments in instalment or in full in any location using their phones. The study establishes a positive impact between the electronic systems and improved revenue generation processes which support the notion that there is indeed a correlation between ICT systems and revenue generation processes, against the notion that there is no correlation.
