Everything after collection,
handled end-to-end

TRAC is remittance infrastructure — not a payment portal. We own the operational layer between merchant payments and city general funds.

Automated tax collection at scale

Merchants submit, TRAC validates. Every dollar is tagged to a tax type, period, and jurisdiction before it touches the ledger.

  • Multi-channel submission — ACH, wire, portal, CSV import
  • Period-locked filings with amendment workflow
  • Bulk operator import with immutable batch IDs
  • Real-time validation against current tax rates
  • Automatic self-reporting intake with audit trail

Configurable allocation engine

City-specific rules determine how collected funds are split across funds, accounts, and periods. No two cities are alike — TRAC handles both.

  • Per-city, per-module allocation rules
  • Fund split configurations (General Fund, Special Revenue)
  • Rate schedule versioning with effective dates
  • High-impact change approval workflow (±5% threshold)
  • Real-time allocation preview before commit
Allocation Rules — City of Oakland
General Fund 72.5%
Public Safety Fund 20.0%
Infrastructure Reserve 7.5%

Finance-grade settlement packages

Every remittance to the city includes a complete settlement package — not just a wire transfer. TRAC generates the documentation that closes the books.

  • Itemized settlement statements per tax type
  • ACH settlement with same-day or T+2 options
  • PDF remittance packages for city audit records
  • Period reconciliation reports auto-attached
  • Configurable remittance schedule (monthly, quarterly)
Settlement Package — June 2025
