The complete acceptance layer
One integration across the payment methods your customers use.
GLASS brings local and international cards, global wallets, Asian wallets and bank payments together through one gateway. Asian acceptance is the standout difference within that breadth.

ACCOUNT COLLECTION
Virtual accounts
Give customers a clear account-based route to pay and give finance teams a traceable reference for reconciliation.
The payment gap
When the payment method is not accepted, the sale can slip away.
A customer is ready to pay and reaches for the method they know. When a business cannot accept it, the sale can stall or slip away. GLASS accepts a broad set of methods through one gateway, so more customers can pay the way they already do. A buyer paying from Asia is the sharpest example, where a familiar card or wallet often has no direct route into a Nigerian business.
