Problem

Managing household bills can be a daunting task, especially when trying to find the best deals and splitting payments among roommates. It can lead to missed payments, late fees, and strained relationships. Additionally, it can be time-consuming to research and compare different providers for each bill.

Bill management is a common issue that many households face, and there was a need for an integrated platform that could handle all aspects of bill management in one place.

Solution

We created Billbi, an integrated bill management and sourcing platform. Billbi scours the market to find the best deals on bills in your area. Users can sign up for new bills, change providers, manage their bills, cancel services, and enable notifications to pay their bills on time.

The platform also allows users to divide payments among their housemates who can decide when and how they want to pay it. Users have the option to pay through direct debit or split payments with a small one percent fee. This eliminates the need for individuals to chase down their roommates for payment or worry about missed payments.

Impact

Increased efficiency in managing household bills
Eliminated missed payments and late fees
Saved users money by finding the best deals on bills in their area
