Bills paid together, by people who care.

BillBridge is a community platform for the bills that arrive at the worst possible moment. A household posts the bill it cannot cover on its own, along with a short explanation and the date it is due. The request goes live straight away on the browse page, where anyone can see it, read the story and give whatever they can spare by card.

Every bill has a page with a clear target, a progress bar and a list of the gifts that have landed, so both the person asking and the people giving can see exactly how far the bill has come. Donations can cover the whole amount or a few dollars of it, and a request stops accepting gifts once it is fully funded.

BillBridge is built for people in a tight spot with an essential expense: medical costs, rent and housing, power and water bills, groceries, school costs and transport. It is equally for the people around them, friends, family, colleagues and strangers who would rather help one bill get paid than send money into a general pool. Nothing is hidden behind an application or an interview, and giving takes about a minute.

BillBridge is built and maintained by a small independent team based in New Zealand. We are not a charity and we do not take a cut of what is given: donations go by card through Stripe and are paid out to the person who posted the bill. Our job is to keep the process plain, the pages honest and the progress visible, so helping someone is as simple as it sounds.
