2008 Statement from the Electronic Payment Coalition

“The Electronic Payments Coalition commends the GAO report that enumerates the invaluable benefits that the federal government receives by accepting and using credit and debit cards.”

2008 Statement from Sen. Tom Carper

"This GAO report clearly shows that the U.S. government benefits from using and accepting credit and debit cards by making our financial operations more efficient and reducing costs associated with bad checks and cash thefts. Using credit cards has effectively saved the federal government money, while increasing customer satisfaction at several government entities, such as Amtrak and the Postal Service.”
