PromisePay provides a modern payment platform built for government. We transformed the inconvenient and time-consuming process of paying down government debt into something that any resident can use. PromisePay is easy to use on mobile devices, offering all payment methods, in the languages residents speak, and broken down into easier payment plans. We have a team working 24/7 to talk to residents and help them make their payments. This means residents pay off debt faster, government gets more revenue, and government works better for everyone.
Promise is a financial services technology company. We build payment processing tools and services for government. Promise has a team of technology and government experts from companies like Palantir, Stripe, and Google, and has raised over $50M from investors like Kapor Capital, XYZ Ventures, Bronze Investments, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, The General Partnership (formerly Sweat Equity Ventures), Howard Schultz, and others.
