A PayPal Balance account is required to create a pool.
It’s your do-it-all digital wallet. Load up on offers before you shop. Track your packages. And manage it all on the go.
Setup is a breeze with PayPal.1 And anyone across the globe can contribute—even friends and family members who don’t use PayPal yet.
Free to set up. Free to transfer funds to your PayPal balance. Plus there’s no cost to chip in from a PayPal balance or bank in the US.
Share your pool. Track your progress. Spend your pooled money wherever you pay with PayPal, or transfer to your bank.1
For you and your friends. Payments are encrypted, keeping your group’s full financial info secure, and 24/7 fraud monitoring helps protect your transactions.
No more IOUs or waiting to get paid back. Keep tabs on contributions with real-time notifications. Track your progress and pool total—separate from your personal balance.
Anyone in your pool can view the total amount collected. And friends who use PayPal can track contributions, comments, and fund transfers along the way.
Name your pool, describe what you’re collecting money for, and add an end date.
They’ll be able to chip in, even without a PayPal account.
Easily track and manage contributions. And get notified when someone chips in.
Instantly transfer funds to your PayPal balance and spend online or in stores, send to friends or family,2 or move to your bank.
No need to foot the bill. Collect money up front for group gifts or shared experiences and skip the hassle of settling up afterward.1
