Toronto council’s audit committee voted Tuesday to end the system for making online payments to the city, after an auditor general’s report found problems with the way a U.S.-based tech firm was awarded the multimillion-dollar contract to modernize the process.
The city launched its cloud-based payment platform MyToronto Pay in 2022, which uses Kansas City-based PayIt’s technology so Torontonians can pay their parking tickets, property taxes and utility bills.
