Let the citizen have freedom of choice when it comes to payments and strengthen cost transparency
to reduce the acquiring costs for the PA.

What are the advantages of pagoPA for my business?
The main advantage of using the pagoPA system is to rely on a single, simple, fast and transparent payment system (certainty of commission costs, clarity of amounts, etc.), to make any type of payment to the Public Administration. In particular:
transparency of commission costs
certainty of the debt owed, with the possibility of obtaining the discounting of the amount (i.e. the amount to be paid is always the valid one required by the PA. If the amount varies over time due to default interest or other, it is always updated on pagoPA )
simplicity and speed of the process: just enter the warning code (IUV Identificativo Unico Versamento) to pay and receive the release receipt or the certainty that the PA has collected the tax and there will be no subsequent verifications or investigations.
What is the security level of payments made on pagoPA?
The level of security is guaranteed by adherence to the security regulations established by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and adherence to the requirements on Strong Authentication provided for by PSD2. All payment institutions (Paid Service Providers) participating in the pagoPA system must comply with the security and fraud prevention requirements imposed by the PSD and PSD2.
Why can I no longer find the MAV / RAV bulletin in the payment notification?
By joining pagoPA, the Creditor cannot use MAVs or RAVs.
Can I also collect credits from the public administration with pagoPA?
