Pay the bill

Photo the paper bill and Pally pays it.

A paper bill sits on the counter until it is late. Send Pally a photo and it reads the amount, the due date, and the account number, finds the payment page, and pays it.

The routine

How it works

Photograph the bill. Pally reads the amount, due date, account number, and who gets paid. If a digit is unreadable, it asks.

Pally finds the biller's payment page, signs in with a login you saved if needed, and pays with the card saved on your biller account or a card from your payment wallet. Your wallet's approval settings decide when it asks you first.

Pally saves the confirmation and receipt to your files and your email. Reply to make it a routine: a monthly watch or a reminder before the due date.

A useful fit

Good for

  • Paper bills that never make it into a payment app
  • Paying the exact amount from your payment wallet
  • Keeping a receipt you can find months later
  • Catching a due date before the late fee
  • Turning a one-off payment into a monthly routine

Before you start

Common questions

How does Pally know the amount?+

It reads the photo and tells you the amount, due date, and biller in the thread before it pays.

What card gets used?+

The card saved on your biller account, or a card from your connected payment wallet under the wallet's approval settings. The wallet keeps your card details. Ask to see the payment first and Pally waits for your yes.

What if the biller has no online payment?+

Pally tells you. It can call the biller to ask how they take payment, and set a reminder before the deadline.
