Where PAY is headed
Paymentus in 2028 looks less like a vendor selling bill-pay software to municipal utilities and more like the default settlement layer sitting underneath roughly a third of recurring household obligations in the US. The Instant Payment Network (IPN) is the asset most investors still underweight. It connects more than 2,000 billers on one side to banks, neobanks, and wallets on the other, and every new biller signed multiplies the value of every wallet integration already in place. That is a two-sided network, and two-sided networks priced on a software multiple tend to get repriced once the market figures out what they actually are.
