How do I collect money online?

You already send, spend, and manage your money online. That's because mobile banking and peer-to-peer money transfer apps are great for keeping "my" money and "your" money straight. But they fall short when you need a dedicated place for "our money."

Is there a way to collect money from a group of people and keep it in a dedicated place? A place you can share with them? You bet. It's called Pool.

What are some of the best ways to collect money from a group online?

Once you set up your Pool, how do you collect money from a bunch of people? It's easy.

Whether you need to collect money from friends for an upcoming road trip or you're gathering payments for a teacher's gift, here are the best tips to collect funds online.

Invite members to join your Pool: Whether you're organizing a road trip, collecting for a teacher gift, or managing club dues, members can join the Pool and contribute alongside you.

Keep contributions organized: Pool gives everyone a dedicated place to view activity, track contributions, and stay informed about how shared funds are being used.

Manage money together: Pool isn't just a place to collect money. Admins can assign permissions to trusted members, making it easy to collaborate on managing shared funds and expenses.

Spend directly from the Pool: When it's time to make a purchase, use the Pool debit card to pay directly from the Pool without transferring funds elsewhere first.

How do you collect money for a party?

Parties are a lot of fun. But if you're party planning with other people, you're also pooling money together. To keep money collection as lighthearted as the party itself, use Pool.

Whether you need to collect cash for a group gift, a birthday party, the venue, or the caterer, everyone can join the Pool and contribute funds directly from their linked bank accounts.

Then, whenever you need to pay for anything party-related, pay directly from the Pool — there's no need to transfer funds to another account.

Every Pool comes with a free Pool debit card to use. The Pool card has zero fees, so you get to spend 100% of your Pool funds on the party.

How to collect money for an event

PayPal is popular, so why not use this global platform to collect money for an event, fundraiser, or charity drive?

Despite its popularity, PayPal has drawbacks:

• You can raise money on PayPal's Generosity Networks, but PayPal has to verify your charity first. Then, your network can only run for 30 days, and there are fundraising limits.
• Donors cannot contribute without creating a PayPal account.
• You may have to create a PayPal business account to collect money.
• PayPal fees reduce the amount of money you collect.

With Pool, it's a completely different story. No fees. No controls. No fundraising limits. Pool is free, you get to choose your charity, and you get to fundraise for as long as you want.

Plus, you can manage your Pool with anyone by inviting them to join. This way, you can work together to manage Pool funds, spend with the Pool card, and more.
