Some agencies apply overdue charges to customer items (invoices) that are paid late. On January 1, 2026, the Overdue Charge (OC) dropped from 8% down to 7%. Unfortunately, the rate was not updated in the SWIFT system until February 13, 2026. Due to this four agencies have inadvertently overcharged customers by 1%.
We have identified all affected transactions. Fortunately, the overcharged amount per customer is generally a few dollars. The agencies affected include Department of Health (MDH), the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Minnesota Zoo.
Minnesota Management and Budget (MMB) will reach out to these agencies and provide all impacted transactions. If you have questions or concerns about this issue, please contact the SWIFT Help Desk.
