The City of Newport News will be making electronic payments to vendors using Bank of America's ePayables credit card product. This service allows you to accept payment by keeping our credit card information on file. Once an invoice has been approved for payment we'll fund the card for the exact amount, send you a remittance advice via email listing the invoices we intend to pay, and at that time you can charge the card for that invoice amount.
