Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
PayIt is a provider of digital government services and payments, making it simple and secure for governments to accept payments and serve their constituents across web, desktop, and mobile platforms.
Some of PayIt's customers include the City of Toronto, Florida's Palm Beach County, and North Carolina. With the company's innovative approach to government services, PayIt's technology has garnered significant recognition in both the public and private sectors, most notably putting them in the 'GovTech 100' seven years running.
With plans to further expand across the US as well as empower international governments, PayIt has received funding from investors such as Macquarie Capital and Insight Partners. In 2023 the company acquired Sovereign Sportsman Solutions, that focuses on digital permitting and licensing for outdoor recreation, to expand its portfolio of offerings. It continues to add new features, ensuring the platform stays at the front of its field.
