Online Payment Reality After over a century of requiring cash or checks to pay for program fees, Cornell Cooperative Extension Franklin County (CCE Franklin) is now able to accept Visa and MasterCard payments online. As someone who depends on debit and credit cards for tracking spending, I know this is a welcomed step in the right direction. Utilizing a thoroughly researched secure credit card payment gateway allows us to accept your program registrations or donations online. We are extremely happy to be moving forward in this manner. It has been a long, well researched and carefully thought out process. We want to make sure that you and your information remain safe. Further, we desired a simple and straight forward process. We remain available to answer your questions about programming and events by email, telephone and in person. Online registration and payment, streamlines the process allowing you to register at your convenience saving time and money. There is always something happening at CCE Franklin.
