How a bill gets paid
This page explains the path from the bill reaching you to the money reaching the sender, and how that differs from other ways to pay.
- 1
The bill reaches you
The sender sends a link by email or text. The code sits in the same message, so a forwarded link alone is not enough.
- 2
The details arrive pre-filled
Amount, due date and reference are already read from the bill. You check them instead of typing them.
- 3
You approve the payment
Approval happens with your bank or card issuer, by bank, card or wallet.
- 4
The money reaches the sender
The payment provider transfers the amount to the sender with the correct reference, and the bill is marked as paid.
Compared with other ways to pay
Four points of comparison: time to payment, whether an account is required, the risk of a wrong reference, and what happens if the payment fails.
| Way to pay | Time to payment | Account required | Risk of wrong reference | If the payment fails |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remembill | Minutes, from link to approved payment | No, no login with us | Low, the reference is pre-filled | You get a reminder with the same link and can try again |
| Bank transfer with OCR reference | Minutes if you are already signed in to your bank, otherwise longer | Yes, a bank account and an eID | Higher, the reference is typed by hand | The payment is stopped or misapplied and has to be corrected manually |
| Direct debit | Automatic on the due date, nothing to do, better than Remembill when it works | Yes, a mandate and a bank account | Low, the sender sets the reference | The debit is retried, often with a fee, and Remembill steps in when it fails |
| Signing in to the sender's customer portal | Minutes to days, depending on whether you have an account | Yes, one account per sender | Low inside the portal | You handle it in the portal or through support |
| Paper bill | Days, postal delivery plus manual entry | Yes, in order to pay | Highest, everything is copied by hand | A reminder by post, with a risk of late fees |
Direct debit beats Remembill for bills that repeat with the same amount every month, because nothing has to be done at all. The sender's portal is better when you want history, want to change a subscription or want to dispute a line. A bank transfer with an OCR reference is better when you need to pay from a specific account that is not among the payment methods. Remembill is strongest for one-off bills, for bills with varying amounts, and when a payment has already been missed.
Where the money goes
The amount moves from your account, card or wallet through a payment provider straight to the sender, with the correct reference. Remembill never moves the money itself.
Card payment scope: PCI DSS SAQ A. All card data is processed by payment providers. Never in Remembill's systems.
