The payments feature you didn’t know you needed

In a world where we live glued to our smartphones and develop phantom vibration symptoms, which type of notification is the most useful?

We all know and love (or hate) push notifications. They provide a little dopamine buzz as we get a stream of likes for our latest Instagram post, or save our bacon when reminding us of our mother’s birthday.

Whilst often overused, their value has not yet prevailed to the banking and payment space. Challenger banks like Monzo, Starling, and N26 integrated push notifications from their conception, but this has been overlooked by most high-street banks. And none of the banks offer a layer of detail below payments arriving into an account. Currently, only a handful of them have mobile apps that offer spending insights and notifications. NatWest’s Mimo is only available to selected customers and HSBC’s Connected Money is only available on iOS.

billx will fix this by providing valuable and insightful notifications, in real-time.
