We‘ve all been there. You lent money to your friends, flatmates, or family months ago and they haven’t all repaid despite your constant reminders and impeccable spreadsheets. You are left wondering whether you should just let it go 💸

But wait! You don’t have to give up just yet…

🧑🏽‍🔧 How will we help?

We’re building billx to help everyone ‘Pay A Better Way’, and part of this is simplifying payment requests and ensuring you get paid back! It doesn’t matter what you paid for or how much you are owed, requesting money with billx is effortless. Here is how it works:

👩🏻‍💻 Set up a payment request

To send a payment request, you simply need to choose one or more people who owe you money, enter the amount, and type a custom note, tap ‘send’, and voila!

💸 Payment request made your way

Payment requests are designed with you in mind, so however you want to request, we’ve got you covered. Request in person with a contactless QR code, request in-app with billx notification, or create a unique payment URL to send via message or email.

✔️ Monitor the request

We love transparency and we’re sure you do, too. This is why our app includes “read” receipts — just like the ones on messaging apps — so that you know the person you requested money from has got it, seen it, opened it, and paid it.

🏃‍♂️ Chasing payments

We do the hard work for you, sending automated nudges until you get paid. No need for spreadsheets or checking your bank accounts to see who’s paid. The billx app shows you everything in one place.

What if your friends don’t have billx?

Not a problem. We’ve even made it simple and slick to pay without the app, although you’ll need the app to send requests. No need to register, they simply click on your request link, select their bank, and pay using their bank account. All using biometrics and passcodes, no typing out details, or card detail copy and paste. It couldn’t be easier! We’re confident that once they realise they can #PayABetterWay with billx they’ll download the app and join you.

Don’t give up on money you are owed or waste time on slow and manual payment requests and sign up for early access to our app at billx.co — and whilst you’re at it, why don’t you get your friends to sign up too?
