Glass, the Silicon Valley GovTech company revolutionizing how governments buy and operate, today announced the launch of Glass Pay, the first intelligent payment platform built specifically for governments and the public sector. With Glass Pay, Glass is entering the public payments arena to rewrite how the largest buyers in the world move money, bringing speed, compliance, and efficiency to a system long constrained by outdated, manual processes.
Every year, governments and public institutions process millions of small-dollar, one-off, and tail-spend payments. These transactions are currently managed through fragmented and outdated systems, forcing finance teams to handle the same volume of paperwork, compliance checks, and administrative tasks for a $1,000 transaction as they do for a $50,000 one. The result is endless delays, heavy workloads, compliance risks, and millions of dollars in lost public value. Glass Pay is built to erase these inefficiencies and deliver a new era of efficient payments for the public sector.
Glass Pay is built as a lightweight SaaS platform that automates and centralizes payments. By consolidating the entire payment lifecycle into a single system, Glass Pay provides an unprecedented level of compliance, transparency, and speed. It enables agencies to issue payments across purchase cards, ACH, bulk transfers, and international wires, while also managing requester, admin, and payee workflows in one place. Vendors are seamlessly onboarded, completing their banking and tax information through a simple portal that automatically collects W-9 forms for domestic payments and W-8BEN forms for international ones. Once onboarded, vendors receive their funds quickly and securely, without the need for error-prone manual entry into ERP or vendor management systems.
Beyond payments and onboarding, Glass Pay is designed for government compliance from the ground up. It is hosted on cloud infrastructure verified for public agencies and higher education, fully adheres to federal Section 508 accessibility standards, and integrates seamlessly with ERP and e-procurement systems such as ESM, EqualLevel, and JAGGAER. It supports single sign-on for agencies and can be customized with institutional branding, personalized registration portals, and notifications. Government teams also benefit from live chat, hotline, email support, and a training and resources hub that ensures finance staff and agency personnel are equipped to adopt the system with ease.
