HelpPay and our mission
HelpPay is a 100% Australian-owned payments company in Melbourne, Australia.
We're on a mission to help people and companies alike avoid something they both hate: late bills.
We believe short-term money challenges do not define a person. We believe when helping is easier more of it happens.
We know that people ask for help family and friends far before considering looking further afield.
We also know that when asked, family and friends are more likely than not to step up and help.
We know we are playing a positive role in people's lives, keeping them out of debt and helping prevent small problems from becoming big ones.
Prevention is the best approach
What's better: a great fence at the top of a hill or an ambulance at the bottom?
We a strong believers that Australians are problem solvers and embrace prevention.
Our users experiences reflects this too.
As the saying goes, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' - we are that ounce of prevention for families, friends, communities in payments.
