Utility Bills: Keep the Lights On With One Swipe

Electric, water, gas, and internet bills belong on Bored Billionaire’s swipe deck.

Utility shutoff notices are urgent and specific - perfect for a swipe deck. The amount is printed. The date is printed. The consequence is obvious: lights, heat, water, or connectivity.

Which utilities people upload

  • Electric and gas statements
  • Water and sewer bills
  • Internet or phone bills that keep someone working remotely
  • Past-due notices with a clear restore amount

Make the urgency readable

In your story, name the due date and what is at risk. “Electric due Friday, $186, shutoff scheduled” is clearer than “need help with bills.” Pair that with a sharp photo of the notice so payers can verify the number in one glance.

Small amounts still matter

Not every utility ask is huge. Many are a few hundred dollars standing between normal life and a cascade of late fees. Those cards often move faster because the decision is simple.
