2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user initiates the payment bill query request in response to whether the payment bill associated with a payment service is generated for the user is unknown to the user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user comprises:

querying for the payment bill from the payment institution; and

if the payment bill for the user is found, determining that the payment institution has generated the payment bill.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the user information comprises:

obtaining, based on the payment bill, service account information associated with the user;

querying a user address based on the service account information; and

querying, based on the user address, the region that the user belongs to.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the payment bill records the service account information associated with the user, and wherein the service account information is used to identify different users.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the region that the user belongs to is an area where the user resides or is an administrative region.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has been pushed to the region that the user belongs to comprises determining whether the user is a first user initiating the payment bill query request within the region that the user belongs to.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

obtaining, at a payment platform server, a payment bill query request initiated by a user through a third-party payment platform;

determining, by the payment platform server, whether a payment institution has generated a payment bill for the user based on the payment bill query request, wherein the payment institution does not provide the third-party payment platform with bill generation information;

in response to determining that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user:

obtaining, by the payment platform server and based on the payment bill, user information associated with the user, wherein the user information includes a region that the user belongs to;

determining, by the payment platform server, whether information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has been pushed to the region that the user belongs to; and

in response to determining that the information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has not been pushed to the region that the user belongs to:

pushing, by the payment platform server, the information for notification that the payment institution has generated a payment bill to each user associated with the third-party payment platform within the region that the user belongs to through an account of the third-party payment platform.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the user initiates the payment bill query request in response to whether the payment bill associated with a payment service is generated for the user is unknown to the user.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein determining whether the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user comprises:

querying for the payment bill from the payment institution; and

if the payment bill for the user is found, determining that the payment institution has generated the payment bill.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein obtaining the user information comprises:

obtaining, based on the payment bill, service account information associated with the user;

querying a user address based on the service account information; and

querying, based on the user address, the region that the user belongs to.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the payment bill records the service account information associated with the user, and wherein the service account information is used to identify different users.

13. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the region that the user belongs to is an area where the user resides or is an administrative region.

14. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein determining whether information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has been pushed to the region that the user belongs to comprises determining whether the user is a first user initiating the payment bill query request within the region that the user belongs to.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations comprising:

obtaining, at a payment platform server, a payment bill query request initiated by a user through a third-party payment platform;

determining, by the payment platform server, whether a payment institution has generated a payment bill for the user based on the payment bill query request, wherein the payment institution does not provide the third-party payment platform with bill generation information;

in response to determining that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user:

obtaining, by the payment platform server and based on the payment bill, user information associated with the user, wherein the user information includes a region that the user belongs to;

determining, by the payment platform server, whether information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has been pushed to the region that the user belongs to; and

in response to determining that the information for notification that the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user has not been pushed to the region that the user belongs to:

pushing, by the payment platform server, the information for notification that the payment institution has generated a payment bill to each user associated with the third-party payment platform within the region that the user belongs to through an account of the third-party payment platform.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the user initiates the payment bill query request in response to whether the payment bill associated with a payment service is generated for the user is unknown to the user.

17. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein determining whether the payment institution has generated the payment bill for the user comprises:

querying for the payment bill from the payment institution; and

if the payment bill for the user is found, determining that the payment institution has generated the payment bill.

18. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein obtaining the user information comprises:

obtaining, based on the payment bill, service account information associated with the user;

querying a user address based on the service account information; and

querying, based on the user address, the region that the user belongs to.

19. The computer-implemented system of claim 18 , wherein the payment bill records the service account information associated with the user, and wherein the service account information is used to identify different users.

20. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the region that the user belongs to is an area where the user resides or is an administrative region.
