How To: Create an Online Money Pool with Switch

Are you ready to streamline the process of collecting and managing funds for shared expenses? Follow these steps to create an online money pool with Switch:

1. Sign up for an account

Create a Switch account by downloading the app or visiting the website. Provide the necessary information to set up your profile and verify your identity.

2. Create a pitch

Once you're logged in, create a pitch for your money pool. Customize the pitch by setting a name and description, specifying the purpose of the shared expenses, and setting a target amount.

3. Invite participants

Invite friends, family, or colleagues to join your money pool by sharing a unique link. They can contribute via Apple/Google Pay or card. You can also send SMS text blasts to ensure everyone receives important updates about shared plans or expenses.

4. Track payments and expenses

Switch provides ultimate transparency and shared social accountability. You can easily track who has paid and who hasn't within the pitch. Downloadable transaction statements and integrations with quickbooks, plaid, and more keep your group organized and accountable.

5. Manage funds and spend together

Switch automatically creates a unique bank account and virtual debit cards associated with each pitch. You can easily manage these cards, creating and deleting them as needed. Use the virtual debit cards for online purchases or any purchase using Apple/Google Pay.

6. Dispose or reuse the pitch

Once your shared expenses are settled, you can dispose of the pitch if it was a one-time use. Alternatively, you can reuse the pitch for future shared expenses, saving time and effort in setting up a new money pool.

With Switch, you no longer have to worry about fronting money, passing around debit/credit cards, or tracking IOUs on multiple platforms. Enjoy stress-free shared expenses and focus on creating incredible experiences with your friends and family.
