How to use Switch to Split Expenses

Are you tired of keeping tabs on who owes whom and managing multiple spreadsheets? Switch is here to make expense tracking a breeze. Here's a step-by-step guide to using Switch:

1. Create a Pitch

With Switch, you can easily create a pitch for your group expenses. A pitch acts as a virtual bank account for your shared funds, and you can use it for one-time expenses or recurring ones. Switch generates unique virtual debit cards for each pitch, allowing you to make online purchases or use Apple and Google Pay. Forget about fronting money or passing around physical cards. Switch takes care of it all in seconds.

2. Invite Participants and Collect Money

Invite your friends or group members to join your pitch on Switch. They can easily pay into the pitch using Apple/Google Pay, a card via a web link, or by downloading the Switch app. Switch ensures transparency and social accountability by showing who has paid and who hasn't. Say goodbye to the hassle of manually tracking payments on spreadsheets or other platforms.

3. Track Expenses and Communicate

In addition to seamless expense tracking, Switch offers a social component. You can have conversations about shared expenses within the app, making it easy to discuss important details. Organizers can even send SMS text blasts for free to ensure everyone stays informed. No more missed messages or confusion when it comes to shared plans or expenses.

4. Enjoy Ultimate Transparency

Switch puts transparency at the forefront. You can download transaction statements, access transaction history, and integrate Switch with popular accounting software like QuickBooks and Plaid. No more guesswork or confusion about where the money is going. Everything is organized and accountable.

5. Dispose or Reuse the Pitch

Once your expenses are settled, you have the option to dispose of the pitch or reuse it for future expenses. Switch gives you the flexibility to manage your shared funds according to your needs.

6. Explore a Range of Use Cases

Switch isn't limited to specific types of expenses. It can be used for philanthropy events, club dues, social events, fantasy sports, and much more. Whether you're in college or recently graduated, Switch is designed to empower anyone to create incredible experiences by simplifying the process of collecting and spending money in groups.
