An update: we’re still not planning to add the concept of a payment for a specific bill or a specific expense. We’ve left this idea under review for many years, but we’re not convinced it’s the right idea for Splitwise. We think focusing on a total balance makes things simpler in most cases. This is also how a bank balance works.

Suggestion is a custom @splitwise.com email address for an expense group. When a bill, say an electric bill or internet bill, is forwarded to the address, Splitwise parses out the amount and date and automatically adds it as a split group expense.
