BRAMPTON, ON – To better safeguard and protect personal information, the City of Brampton is implementing changes to the way it accepts, processes and stores credit card payments. 

Starting February 9, 2024, the City will no longer accept credit card information or payments over the phone, by email, or in-field payments (payments collected outside of City facilities). Instead, residents, visitors and businesses are encouraged to use secure online payment options for services and fees. In addition, the City will no longer store credit card information in its internal systems to ensure payment information is kept secure. 

Residents, visitors and businesses can continue to pay by credit card at in-person customer services counters and online at www.Brampton.ca

The City of Brampton remains steadfast in its commitment to keeping the personal and sensitive data of our residents, businesses and customers safe.
