Glance Technologies Launches New Ticket Payment Capability

Glance Technologies (CSE:GET) has announced it has launched the ability to pay parking tickets through its Glance Pay platform.

As quoted in the press release:

This new feature allows users to pay for parking violation tickets at the time of receipt instantly by snapping a picture of the ticket via the Glance Pay app and confirming the amount – thus reducing headaches for consumers and potentially saving them significant money by allowing them to avoid late payment fees and possibly vehicle impound fees. Additionally, Glance is exploring the potential to apply this capability to other violation types and bill payments such as utility and service bills (such as gas, cellular, wireless and cable bills).

A common scenario for consumers today who park in urban areas is to return to their vehicle to find a dreaded $70 parking violation ticket on their windshield. If the ticket is not paid within a limited number of days, the payment amount can increase significantly, sometimes by over $35 or more. Consumers often place the ticket in their glove box and carry on, hoping to remember to pay it sometime in the future. Often the payment options are not convenient. For example, some jurisdictions still require payment for traffic violations to be done by mailing checks or physically at the vendor or city hall. And if a few unpaid parking tickets buildup, consumers’ vehicles may be towed and impounded, which is quite inconvenient and costly.

Glance Pay has launched a trial version of its ticket payment capability in Vancouver, B.C. to help solve this problem for consumers – and to potentially save them money and headache surrounding ticket payments. When a user receives a ticket, on the spot they will be able to just snap a picture of the ticket via the Glance Pay app, confirm its amount, and the ticket will be paid.
