Payment and assistance platform for government
promise-pay.com (opens in a new tab)Promise modernises how government agencies and utilities support people in financial difficulty, making it straightforward for residents to receive benefits, engage with assistance programmes, set up flexible payment plans and stay on track. Agencies simultaneously gain efficiency and recover revenue they would otherwise write off — the two goals turn out to be aligned, since people default less when repayment is structured around what they can actually pay. The team includes people from Palantir, Google and Stripe alongside experienced government leaders, working to make public systems serve the most vulnerable with dignity.
