PayPal Revives Money Pooling Feature for Group Expenses
The new feature allows users to collect and manage funds for shared expenses without requiring all participants to have PayPal accounts.
- PayPal's money pooling feature is available in the U.S., Germany, U.K., Italy, and Spain, just in time for the holiday season.
- The feature allows users to create a pool via the app or website, where friends and family can contribute money for group expenses.
- Unlike previous iterations, this version does not require all contributors to have PayPal accounts, simplifying the process.
- Users can set a pool name, description, target date, and funding goal, and track contributions through a sharable link.
- The service is free of charge, offering a cost-effective alternative to other apps like Splitwise and Venmo for managing group finances.
