Record a transfer between members

If one person gave another money directly – in cash, by bank transfer or PayPal – record it as a transfer. That keeps the balances right, even if the money didn't follow the settlement suggestion.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Create an entry

    Tap “+ Entry” in the group and pick “Transfer” at the top. Split asks “Who gave money to whom?”.

  2. 2

    Pick the people

    Under “From”, pick who paid, and under “To”, who received the money.

  3. 3

    Amount and date

    Enter the “Amount” and check the “Date”.

  4. 4

    Save

    Tap “Save transfer”. The transfer appears in the list and both people's balances change accordingly.

Good to know

  • For payments from the settlement suggestion, “Mark as paid” under “Settle up” is quicker – Split fills in the people and amount itself.
  • A transfer is always recorded in the group currency.
