Are you tired of dealing with the hassle of collecting money from your friends for group expenses? Switch is here to rescue you! Follow these steps to efficiently pool money:

1. Create a Pitch

Start by creating a pitch for your specific group expense. Set the goal amount and customize the description. This pitch will act as a virtual account to track contributions and expenses.
