Glider is an Australian payments company that builds what it calls a payment experience layer for enterprise billers. Its API-first platform connects billing systems, customer communication channels such as SMS and email, and payment providers, so billing and collections teams can manage the journey from the first bill notification through to payment confirmation.
The platform supports PayTo, PayID, cards and digital wallets, and is used by utilities, insurers and collections teams. Glider is venture-backed, led by founder and CEO Shaun Dobbin, and based in Sydney.

Why I own it
Getting paid is the most important part of any billing relationship, and for utilities and insurers it's still clunky. Glider connects billing, customer messages and payment rails into one experience.
Payments are regulated and have to be exact, which suits deterministic software. Once Glider is wired into how a biller collects money, it's very hard to rip out.
