What are transactional services? In the broadest sense, all government services involve some form of interaction between a citizen, or a business, and the state. But some involve a transaction, often but not always of money, that requires a process of exchange between the citizen or the business and the state. Everyone who has been the recipient of a government benefit payment such as jobseekers' allowance or child benefit or applied for a driving licence or a passport has used a government transactional service.
