Here’s Why You and Your Group Should Make the Switch to Pool

Say you already have an established way of managing money, but you're thinking about switching things up. Maybe collecting and managing money for your group has proven to be frustrating, time-consuming, or clumsy up until now. Or perhaps your current methods are close to working, but something is missing, and it could be better. Or your systems are working, but you're curious and ready to give Pool a try.

Well, get excited to find out just why Pool will make your life all the easier when it comes to group expenses and how easy it is to switch to Pool.

Why you should join Pool

1. Setting up on Pool is simple

Not only is Pool free to use, but it's also quick and simple to get started at Poolmoney.com. Sign up, set up your account, and start your Pool. It's that easy!

2. Contributing money is easy

Whether you'd like to contribute to your Pool from your bank account or direct deposit, we've got you covered. We also have an extensive Help Guide whenever you need it.

3. Pool your money and spend it, all in one place

No need to shuffle money around to different accounts. Instead, you and other Pool members can contribute directly to your Pool and spend with your Pool debit card. Not only do we offer digital debit cards, but each member of the Pool can order their own physical debit card to spend directly from the Pool.

4. Everything's better together

Pool is built with groups in mind. See when someone else contributes and stay on top of the action together.

5. Keep it simple or go deep into Pool's offerings

There are so many ways you can pool. Let's say you were invited to use Pool for your local charity fundraiser. Not only can you join your charity Pool, but you can have as many Pools as you'd like. Maybe you'd like to make a family vacation Pool and invite entirely different people to it.

Each Pool is entirely customizable. Here are some great examples of some of our most popular types of Pools: Class Reunions, Vacations, Nanny Expenses, Membership Dues, Weddings, Group Gifts, Classrooms, and Splitting Rent. Now that we've piqued your interest, let's get some basics out of the way, including what a Pool is and how to join one.

What is Pool?

Pool is the best place to pool money — separate from your personal accounts. We're determined to make your life easier when it comes to managing shared expenses.

We all share money daily, typically with multiple people, if not groups of people. Sometimes it's for a group gift for your cousin, sometimes it's for a running club, sometimes it's for expenses you share with your roommates, sometimes it's for a large dinner date, and sometimes it's to fund your classroom's supplies. You get the point. We share money A LOT.

The problem is, although sharing money has existed since the beginning of currency, it has not changed all that much. Yes, we have online banking and many person-to-person payment apps, but none that allow you to collect, manage, and spend money all in one place. Until now, it's been piecemealed together. That is, until Pool.

So, what is a Pool?

A Pool is where you can collect, manage, send, and spend money. It's like a joint account for people you don't necessarily want a joint account with, but need to share money with.

Join your Pool

1. Sign up at Poolmoney.com and create your Pool account — you'll be asked questions to verify and protect your identity. All of this information is private and will not be shared.
2. Accept the Pool invite or create your own Pool. If you don't see a pending invitation, reach out to the Pool admin and have them invite you to the Pool.
3. Join other members in managing funds, tracking expenses, and collaborating toward your shared goal.

Start pooling

There are several ways to contribute to your Pool:

1. Link your bank account. You can even set up direct deposit as well.
2. Contribute with funds from other Pools you have.
