Payments processed by Stripe. Payout never sees your card number.
Your card goes straight to Stripe, the payments company behind millions of businesses. Payout never sees or stores your card number.
Before a room can take payments, the organizer verifies their identity with Stripe and connects a bank account. Anonymous rooms can't collect money.
Payments collect in the room's Stripe account, kept separate from the organizer's personal account. The organizer withdraws to their bank when they're ready to spend it.

If the organizer offers a plan, your first payment is taken today and the rest are charged automatically on the dates shown before you agree. Your card is saved securely with Stripe for those payments.
5% + 50¢
Each payment has one service fee: 5% + 50¢, which includes card processing. You see it before you pay. The organizer chooses who covers it: contributors pay it on top, or it comes out of the room's total. Creating a room and withdrawing to your bank are free.
Payout is not a bank, and room balances aren't bank deposits. Payout doesn't lend money or cover shares that aren't paid.
Only the organizer can see who has paid. Group progress is never public. Anyone with the invite link sees just the room's basics and their own share.
