The top graph, covering November 2022 to January 2024, shows a total of 1,585 payments with a right-skewed distribution, indicating that many users paid later than due – often days or weeks past the deadline – while early payments were minimal. Bars are segmented by payment method, with teal representing portal-initiated transactions and green for admin-assisted ones, peaking at around 100 payments on the busiest days and reflecting a nascent stage with fewer self-service options.

In contrast, the bottom graph for November 2024 to January 2026 reveals explosive growth to 35,021 total payments, driven by more on-time and early submissions, as evidenced by a towering spike at zero days past due and additional peaks on specific dates (-5, 5, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28) influenced by strategic texting reminders. The introduction of scheduled payments (dark green) alongside portal and admin methods underscores enhanced self-service features, resulting in a more efficient, member-responsive system that reduces delinquency and boosts overall transaction volume.
