Pod 
Friends
The weekend BBQ
Six friends, one grocery run. Everyone drops in $30, one person taps to pay, and nobody spends the next week chasing Venmo requests.
Friends, roommates, families, classrooms. Create a pod, everyone chips in, and anyone who contributed can spend from the shared balance. Your money, their money, one goal. Done! That's the power of the pod.
No bank account needed to join a pod. Free to create. Fund in seconds.
Venmo moves money one-to-one after the fact. Splitwise tracks IOUs but never touches a dollar. A pod does what neither can: it holds the group's money together, before you spend, so the group pays as one.
Pods are for the small, trusted circles where money already changes hands, just without the awkwardness.
Six friends, one grocery run. Everyone drops in $30, one person taps to pay, and nobody spends the next week chasing Venmo requests.
Give kids a real balance to manage before they have a bank account. Parents fund the pod, set the limits, and see every purchase the moment it happens.
Toilet paper, Wi-Fi, the shared Costco run. Everyone contributes monthly, anyone can buy what the house needs, and the Fairness Index keeps it honest.
Send your college kid spending money into a pod you can both see. No wire fees, no mystery withdrawals, no “Mom, I need $40” at midnight.
Late-night pizza, study-week snacks, the shared coffee habit. Everyone tosses in a few bucks and whoever's closest to the door taps to pay.
Friday donuts, a retirement bouquet, the office baby shower. Teachers and teams collect once into a pod instead of passing an envelope around the break room.
Creating a pod is faster than writing a group text about who's paying.
Name it, pick a purpose, and invite members with a link. They tap to join, no bank account required.
Members fund the pod from a card or their Pod Cash balance. Contributions are tracked on an immutable ledger.
Any contributor can spend from the shared balance at checkout. Every member gets an instant SMS with what was bought and where.
Pod Cash's Authorize & Pay terminal makes a group purchase feel like a personal one. Hold your phone to the reader, the pod pays, and the group is notified before you leave the counter.
A live score for every member comparing what they put in against what they've spent. Transparent, never restrictive.
Every contribution and purchase is a double-entry record, cryptographically chained. Nothing edited, nothing deleted.
Pod admins and backup admins invite or remove members, set limits, and manage the pod when life changes.
Real-time SMS to the whole pod on every authorized purchase. No surprises at the end of the month.
Long before banks, people trusted each other. In West Africa and the Caribbean it's a susu. In Mexico it's a tanda. In Korea a gye, in Jamaica a partner. A circle of people who each put in, and each get to draw out.
“The money was never the point. The trust was.” On the tradition of the susu
Pod Cash brings that tradition to your phone, with the transparency, security, and record-keeping those circles never had.
Behind the simple interface is infrastructure designed for institutional financial audits.
Each night we check our records against the payment processor's and the bank's. All three must match to the cent, or it's flagged and investigated before morning.
AES-256-GCM field-level encryption, PCI-DSS v4.0 aligned card handling, and a web application firewall at the perimeter.
Identity verification and sanctions screening on every account holder, so you know who's in your pod.
Records are sealed in write-once, tamper-proof storage in line with SEC and Bank Secrecy Act retention rules.
No single employee can adjust a balance alone. Manual adjustments require independent dual authorization.
Velocity limits and anti-structuring controls protect your pod from misuse, automatically.
Free to download, free to create a pod. Invite your people and fund it in under a minute.
