For supporters

Choose your impact.

  1. Create your account.Choose “Give support” and confirm your email address.
  2. Explore reviewed bills.Browse by category or dollar amount. Read the story, the bill amount and who receives the payment.
  3. Review before you pay.Choose a bill to cover in full. Select an optional contribution to BilzUp, check the total and continue to Stripe's card checkout.
  4. Follow the payment.After confirmation, the bill moves to the transfer queue. BilzUp arranges payment to the bill issuer and updates your account when the transfer is recorded.

For people requesting support

Take the first step.

  1. Create and verify your account.Confirm your email, then provide your identification and a selfie for review.
  2. Submit an unpaid bill.Upload a photo or PDF. Include the amount in USD, the issuer's payment details, invoice reference and an optional explanation.
  3. Let us review the details.Our team reviews the document before publishing a summary. Supporters never see the original document.
  4. Keep track of your request.See whether your bill is under review, available for support, funded or paid out. Submission is free; support is not guaranteed.

A considered process

More clarity.
Less uncertainty.

Identity verification and individual bill review help reduce misuse. They cannot guarantee that every request is accurate or that a bill will receive support.

01

Identity review

Applicants provide identification and a selfie. For manual reviews, the images are deleted after the review decision.

02

Document review

We review the amount, issuer and payment reference against the submitted bill before it appears in the feed.

03

Payment review

US bill payments use USD. Issuer payment details are available to authorized reviewers, not supporters. BilzUp's team arranges the outgoing payment.

Follow the money

One bill.
A named destination.

Checkout and payment to the bill issuer are separate steps. A successful card payment funds the bill; it does not mean the issuer has already received the transfer.

Payment availability depends on the payment provider and account configuration. No personal cash payouts. Existing euro-denominated records retain their original currency.

Before you start

A few useful details.

What information appears in the feed?

The category, amount, title, story, due date, issuer, first name, location and verification level. Original bills, identity documents and bank details are not displayed to supporters.

What are the submission limits?

Your account shows the current limit for your verification level and the maximum number of open bills. Address verification may increase your limit. New requests use US dollars.

Can I withdraw a bill?

You can withdraw a bill while it is under review or published, unless a payment is in progress. Withdraw it promptly if it is paid another way.

What if my payment is still pending?

Check your account and email for updates. A funded bill is awaiting an outgoing payment. Contact hello@bilzup.com if you need help understanding a status.

Is BilzUp a charity?

No. BilzUp does not issue charitable donation receipts. Review the terms before making a payment.
