If you are based in the US, you can use PayPal or Venmo on the Splitwise mobile app to settle up USD balances. Please note that to use the Venmo integration, you must owe a balance in USD and have the Venmo app installed and logged in on your device.
To get started:
To get started:
- Tap "Settle up" in the relevant group or friendship.
- Tap the balance you want to pay (if in a group).
- Tap to select your payment method (above the "Pay" button).
- Tap "Third party options."
- Tap "Send via PayPal" or "Send via Venmo" and follow the prompts.
When you select one of these options, you will be redirected to PayPal or Venmo to complete the payment. The recipient field is pre-filled with the primary email address on their Splitwise account, but you can change this during the payment process. We recommend confirming the correct information with your friend before settling up with PayPal or Venmo.
If you send a payment to an email address that your friend does not have a PayPal or Venmo account connected to, the payment will remain pending and they should receive an email with instructions to claim it. Unclaimed payments are typically returned to the sender after 30 days, though this is subject to PayPal and Venmo's own policies.
