Media Coverage Dated: 10 March 2022
On March 10, 2022 HelpPay was featured by Channel 9 News in a special report in Victoria and other Australian states.
From Channel 9's News' web article about the story,
"Melbourne-made technology is set to revolutionise the way people can financially help family, friends or a stranger. The HelpPay phone app is designed specifically to make the task of asking for help, and paying others' bills, very simple.
People in need of help can create accounts for any bills that come with a BPAY code and the link can then be shared with others."
"Anyone who has the link to the account can then directly pay the bill. The service guarantees the payee's money will end up exactly where it was intended for. HelpPay co-founder Rowan Wilde said the creators "couldn't believe no one had thought of it before".
"There's plenty of payment apps to give someone money, but there weren't any to make sure the money went exactly where the person was asking for it to go to," he said. Power company Tango Energy has become the first company to sign up to the app and tell customers about it."
