What Is Tyler Technologies on My Bank Statement?

The bank may display Tyler’s name instead of—or in addition to—the name of the government office receiving the money.

  • A county clerk
  • A city utility department
  • A court
  • A department of motor vehicles
  • A property-tax office

  • The agency or department name
  • The service purchased
  • The payment amount
  • A separate processing or convenience fee
  • The order or confirmation number
  • The date and time
  • The state or local jurisdiction

The agency payment and Tyler service fee may post as separate transactions.

Why Do I Have a Charge From Tyler Technologies?

You may have a Tyler Technologies charge because you or another authorized cardholder completed an online government transaction.

Common explanations include:

  • You paid a government bill online
  • You renewed a registration or license
  • You paid a court, ticket, or citation fee
  • You requested a government record or certificate
  • You paid a utility account
  • You completed a permit or inspection application
  • A separate service fee posted after the main agency payment

  • Card processing
  • Electronic-check processing

There is no universal Tyler service-fee amount. The fee can depend on the government agency, service, payment method, and transaction total.

Other explanations include:

  • Two different government payments

972-713-3700 is Tyler Technologies’ published corporate telephone number.

  • How the fee was calculated
  • Whether the fee was disclosed during checkout
  • Whether a refund or cancellation is available

  • The agency cannot locate the transaction
  • The fee differs from the checkout amount
  • The same payment posted twice
