Help clear a real bill.
Bill Pal puts real gas, electricity, water and broadband bills from people across the UK in one place. Chip in what you can spare. It's paid from your bank straight to the supplier.
Free to join. Bill Pal never holds your money.

How it works
Three taps from a bill to the supplier.
01
Find a real bill
Swipe through bills people have posted. Each one is checked against the photo and the supplier before it goes live.
02
Pick what you can spare
£5, £10, or the whole lot. Every bit takes the total down, and you can see how close it is to cleared.
03
It lands on the bill
You approve it in your own banking app. It goes by Faster Payment to the supplier, with that bill's reference.
Where your £10 goes
Your money never touches us.
No wallet, no balance, no cash handed to strangers. Bill Pal tells your bank who to pay and which reference to use, and you approve it. The supplier's account is one we've checked ourselves, never bank details from a photo.

If you want to help
Help someone, not a middleman.
- See exactly whose bill it is, what it's for and how much is left.
- Give £5 or clear it. No subscription and nothing to top up.
- Stay anonymous. They see "a Bill Pal member", not your name.
If you need a hand
Short this month? Post your bill.
- Scan the bill with your phone. It reads the amount and supplier for you.
- Only your first name and town are shown, never your address or full reference.
- Help is paid straight to your supplier, so it comes off what you owe.
Safety
Built so it can't be used to scam you.
The thing people worry about with giving online is where the money really goes. So we took that part out of people's hands.
Every bill checked
A real person checks each bill against its photo and supplier before anyone can see it.
Suppliers only
Payments only go to suppliers on our checked list. Never to a person, never as cash.
Details kept back
No surnames, addresses, full references or bill photos are ever shown to other people.
Report in one tap
Anything look off? Report it from the bill and the team will look into it.
