PagoPA is the platform that enables citizens and businesses to make payments to public administrations and utility service providers electronically.
PagoPA is an initiative that enables citizens and businesses to pay public administrations electronically, offering the opportunity for the user who uses a service to choose the payment service provider (bank, payment institution, Post Office.) and the preferred payment technology channel.
PagoPA is an ecosystem of rules, standards and tools defined by the Digital Italy Agency and accepted by the Public Administration, Banks, Posts and other payment institutions (Payment Service Providers - PSPs) participating in the initiative.
PagoPA guarantees to individuals and businesses:
- security and reliability in payments;
- simplicity and flexibility in the choice of payment methods;
- transparency in commission costs.
PagoPA guarantees public administrations:
- certainty and automation in the collection of collections;
- cost reduction and standardization of internal processes;
- simplification and digitization of services.
PagoPA was implemented by AgID in implementation of Article 5 of the Digital Administration Code and Decree Law 179/2012.
AgID has prepared the Guidelines that define rules and methods for making electronic payments and has also created the Nodo dei Pagamenti-SPC technological infrastructure, which ensures interoperability among the actors involved in the system.
