A system and method are provided for enabling the recipient of a citation to pay the associated fine using SMS text messaging. The system includes a server platform programmed to receive an SMS text from a customer, the SMS text including a citation number, a unique identifier for the municipality that issued the citation, and an RFID transponder number and/or a license plate number for the customer that is linked to a payment device, such as a credit card account. Upon receipt of the SMS text, the server platform validates the citation number and municipality unique identifier against a citation database, charges a percentage of the amount of the citation to the payment device linked to the RFID transponder number or license plate number (e.g., a credit or debit account on file), and transfers payment of the percentage of the citation amount to the municipality identified by the unique identifier. The server platform also sends confirmation of payment of the citation to the customer via an SMS text message. The server platform extracts a processing fee for processing payment of the citation.
