GCPay continues to see strong growth in ePayment adoption—and the numbers tell a compelling story. In 2026, GCPay expects to move $6 billion in payment applications through ePayment, an increase of $2 billion over 2025.
What’s driving this momentum?
More and more new GCPay customers expect ePayment as a standard, not a “nice to have.” For today’s general contractors evaluating automation tools, electronic payments have become one of the most critical areas of value.

Built for How GCs Actually Work
ePayment continues to be a major focus for the GCPay product team, with enhancements designed specifically for general contractors. Customers can manage payments at the project level or company level, depending on how their AP teams operate.
GCPay also makes it easy to queue and batch payments before creating a transfer—handled quickly and securely by designated roles within your organization.
A GCPay Advantage You Won’t Find Everywhere
GCPay’s ePayment and Waiver Exchange goes a step further:
-
Liability shifts to GCPay for collecting and securely storing subcontractor bank details
-
Each payment includes an immediate, signed unconditional lien waiver, reducing risk and manual follow-up
The result? Faster payments, stronger compliance, and less administrative friction for everyone involved.
