Send rates notices the way people actually check their mail.

Most councils still rely on printed notices. Payble delivers your notices where ratepayers already pay, and cuts your print and postage bill while doing it.

This has transformed how we connect with our ratepayers. The results speak for themselves.

Ratepayers can't search, store or pay from their notices. So they call you instead.

Every ratepayer verifies their identity with a code from their own paper notice before anything goes digital. Every notice is access-controlled to its verified account holder, so statutory notices with personal and financial details never land in the wrong hands.

Frequently asked questions

Getting Started
How do ratepayers sign up for digital rates and water notices?

Ratepayers enrol themselves in minutes through the Payble app. They select their account, verify their identity using a code printed on their existing paper notice, confirm their email address and accept the terms. From that point, notices arrive by email instead of post, and their full notice history is available on demand. No forms, no phone calls, no council staff involved.

Can ratepayers receive digital notices for multiple properties?

Yes. Enrolment works per account, so a ratepayer can sign up for digital notices on every property they own. Each account is verified individually, and all notices then live in one place in the Payble app. This is especially useful for landlords and owners of multiple properties who currently juggle a stack of paper notices.

Can ratepayers opt out of digital notices?

Yes, at any time. Ratepayers can unlink an account from the Notices page in the Payble app and return to paper delivery. Council staff can also remove an enrolment on a ratepayer's behalf. Opting in is never locked in, which is exactly why ratepayers are comfortable making the switch.

Delivery & Recipients
Can someone else receive a copy of a ratepayer's notice?

Yes. The primary account holder can invite additional recipients, such as a partner, family member, accountant or property manager. Once the invited person accepts, they're CC'd on every future notice email automatically. The primary contact stays in control of who receives copies at all times.

What happens if a digital notice doesn't reach the ratepayer?

No notice goes missing. Every send is tracked, and any failed delivery is flagged immediately. Councils simply export the failed items and route them to their mailing house, so those ratepayers receive a physical copy instead. Bounced email addresses are automatically suppressed from future runs to protect delivery rates.

Security & Privacy
What verification is required to receive council notices by email?

Every ratepayer must verify their identity before receiving digital notices. They enter a unique verification code printed on their paper notice, which is matched against the account. Only after a successful match can they access notices for that account. This ensures notices are only ever delivered to the verified account holder, not just anyone with an email address.

How does Payble protect ratepayer privacy?

Every notice is locked to its verified account holder. Access is controlled through unique verification keys, meaning a ratepayer can only ever open notices for accounts they have personally verified. Combined with identity verification at enrolment, this ensures statutory notices containing personal and financial details are never exposed to the wrong person.
