Help paying an electric bill
Beta. Stampede is in beta. Right now it runs on play money, so no real bill gets paid yet. Real payments come next.
Behind on an electric bill? On Stampede you post it, a person checks it, and strangers can stamp it paid, a few dollars at a time. The payment goes straight to the electric company. Not to you, and not to anyone else.
How it works for electric bills
- Post it. Snap a photo of the bill, or type in the amount and the due date. Add a line about what it means to you.
- We check it. A person reviews it before it goes up. The account details stay private and encrypted.
- Strangers see only the basics: that it's an electric bill, the amount, your city and your note. Never your name.
- We pay the electric company once it's covered, or when the due date arrives with money raised.
