Which Payment Method Costs Less for Santa Rita's $25 Visitation Background Fee?

Three vendors handle Santa Rita's visitation background fee payments: Keefe, JPay, and GTL. Each one offers multiple ways to pay - storefront, phone, mobile app, or online - so you're not stuck with a single option.

Paying online, through an app, or by phone? Keefe charges no transaction fee for any of those methods. JPay adds $0.95 per $25 transaction. GTL runs slightly higher at $1.00 per transaction across internet, mobile app, and phone payments.

Prefer paying in person? Keefe still wins - no fee at storefront locations. JPay charges $0.95. GTL's storefront cost varies: $2.50 through CheckFreePay or $4.50 through Western Union.
