Split a bill with a payment app
Ask three people for their share without anybody counting out cash.
A payment app can send a request: a message asking somebody for an amount. It asks. It cannot take.
Each person sees the figure and presses to pay, or leaves it sitting there.
Key points
- A request asks somebody for money and cannot take it
- Send moves your money out; request brings money in
What to remember
- Send pays out. Request brings in.
- Request asks. Send pays. They are different buttons.
Try this
Open your payment app and find Send and Request side by side. Read the two words. Press neither.
