Whether you are out for lunch with colleagues, sharing holiday costs with friends, or need to split rent with your forgetful housemate, splitting bills is an essential part of our lives. With 65% of the UK public still preferring to make person-to-person payments from their bank account, having to manually share long account numbers and sort codes makes a seemingly menial task an absolute nightmare. And the longer it takes, the less likely you are to see your hard-earned pounds re-paid.

In the past few years, we’ve seen a ray of hope with challenger banks such as Monzo and Starling making splitting payments quicker and simpler. Their integrated requests mean payments can be split and made in a couple of taps. Now, this works wonderfully if you and your fellow ‘splitees’ all bank with the same challenger, but that’s infrequently the case. Low and behold you find yourself back at square one, drowning in admin. Splitting payments between friends doesn’t have to be so tough. billx can solve this and help everyone ‘pay a better way’.

🧑🏽‍🔧 How will we help?

With billx, you can sort and track everything you owe and are owed across all of your bank accounts, and settle outstanding payments straight from the billx app with no need to share or ask for sort codes and account numbers.

📋 Split anything

It doesn’t matter if a transaction was made with billx or not. As long as your bank account is linked to the app, you will be able to see previous transactions and split them in just a couple of taps.

✂️ Split with anyone

You can choose to split a payment smartly with one or more people, instead of having to chase everyone individually, even if they’re not a billx app user. Don’t worry, you can also send a payment request without splitting a bill if you need to.

📍Split anywhere

You can split payments on-the-go using the billx mobile app! Sign up for early access and be one of the first to try it at billx.co
