The City partners with U.S. Bank to allow electronic payments from your checking or savings account using a system called Online Bill Pay. When you use this system, U.S. Bank will transfer the amount you authorize directly from your checking or savings account to the City of Salem.

The City uses a variety of systems to track and process payments. These instructions are specifically for the Online Bill Pay system only. To learn which payment system you need to use, first select the type of payment you would like to make.
