MONEY POOLS FOR GROUP GIFTS

Organizing a group gift in the workplace? Say goodbye to the jingle of useless coins and crumpled-up dollar bills in a brown paper envelope and hello to quickly and easily getting money from everyone involved. Cash is dead, long live digital money. And because it's so easy for everyone to chip in to the gift pool - they don't have to do any banking or even download an app - you'll get more money than ever before! Ker-ching.

COLLECT MONEY AND MESSAGES

Halve your to-do list by getting those messages for the group's card at the same time as their payments. You're very welcome.

MONEY POOLS FOR EVERYTHING

You know you’re an Organizer when you find yourself volunteering to research destinations for that group vacation (no-one else volunteered), or when you’ve already got 4 awesome ideas for your Dad’s birthday present (which isn’t for another 9 months). Collctiv allows you to collect money upfront from any group of people, for any group booking or purchase. So you can relax and get back to your spreadsheets in peace, knowing the money’s taken care of.

KNOW WHO’S IN

There’s nothing more infuriating than trying to plan or book something for your group and having hundreds of back and forths in WhatsApp just to determine who’s actually chipping into the money pool. Get your friends to put their money where their mouths are - it’s so easy to pay, they’ve got no excuse.

This is the easiest way to ring-fence the group money. No more sifting through all of your personal transactions of your morning coffee and groceries to make sure that you’ve been paid by everyone in the group. Replace that admin work with a specific Collctiv pool, showing who has paid you and how much, all in one place at the tap of a button.

REAL-TIME KITTY*

Need to collect for an ongoing group activity like a sports team? You’ll love our real-time balance updates as people pay into your money pool, and as you withdraw. Easily see how much is in the pool, how much you’ve ever collected, and a list of all the transactions.

*Disclaimer: actual live kitties not included.

PAYMENT LINKS AND QR CODES

We know there’s always (at least) one person (James) in your group of friends who never pays up or always promises to pay you in the form of a beer at the bar. Well, James just about owes you a brewery by now, so stop letting him get away with it! We’ve made it beyond easy to pay upfront, so he really has no excuse. When you create a money pool, a unique payment link is generated that you can share straight into WhatsApp, text or wherever. All James has to do is tap and pay - no app download, no account set up, no banking, no excuse. And if James turns up to that gig you paid for apologizing that he forgot, your money pool also has a unique QR code - all James has to do is scan it and pay you there and then. Sorry, James! The game’s up.

Collctiv uses bank-level SSL encryption to protect your data and payments and 3D secure on all payments to protect you and your friends.

Ratings and reviews

Initally, I couldn't withdraw the collection, every time I tried to upload my ID there was an error (lots of different types and combinations were tried). Luckily the team were able to sort the issue in the app within a day and I've been able to get the voucher sorted in time. As a side note, the app says if you upload your passport as the first ID you can use your driving licence as the second. This isn't currently an option on the second drop down.

Really simple app to use made it much easier to collect money from a large group and keep track of who has paid! Only downside for me was the amount of time it took to transfer the money to my bank account, I don't see why this needs to take 3 days? If this could be an instant transfer then the app would be 10/10 for me.

Privacy nightmare. Not only can you not access any collection information without an app, which they don't tell you in advance when setting up on a desktop. But they also require 2 types of IDs to withdraw the money! I did this collection for a sick colleague to send then a get well soon card. What a major mistake. I'm supposed to upload a photo of my passport to the Internet because of that now?
