Bank account details somewhere/anywhere
Hi. Liking this service so far.
Its nice keeping track of debts, however, it is not much use not knowing how to pay it. (Not everyone uses paypal).
In UK and Australia, someone just needs bank account details to do a transfer. Would be nice either to have one or all of the following:
1. My own account details available for my friends to see. Even if not in their own fields, maybe in a "other info" memo type field.
2. Or be able to put my own comments on my friends so I can make a note of their account details. (or if I think they arent good at paying back)
3. When the expense is added... to explicitly send a custom email out to the involved people with my bank account details
I understand that it can be hard trying to look at expenses from different granularities, ie "how much in total do I owe this person" vs "how much is owed for this expense" vs "how much for this group for this person"
Keep up the good work!

Storing bank account #s is unfortunately tricky, as there are some serious security concerns around bank #s here in the US and in some other countries. Still, we’d like to do it if possible. It’s not on our roadmap yet, but we’re definitely considering it for the future.

Deveria ter uma opção para colocar as informações do banco que a pessoa quer receber. Pra não precisar ficar perguntando.

why can't you just allow the email template to be edited so that we can send the email and include bank details?

In the personal configuration could have the option to share the bank account information so the person could transfer the money easily

Hi, I don't know about law in certain countries, but if it is the own user who saves this data in his profile and there is a disclaimer about it, it would be enough. Maybe you should storage that data encrypted in your database, too, but that's it.
Best!

After each party/event where friends gather and after all the expenses were filled in the app, the payment of debts starts. But what do you do if there is a new person in the group and you don't know where to transfer the money. A "bank account" field in the profile section would do the job, instead of asking for it left and right. What do you think?

I always have to ask for my friend's bank account number in order to make a transfer. It would be nice if I could:
1- Add a note for each friend to keep his bank account number, or
2- I could add my bank account number in my profile, so other users could see it.I think it would be better the second feature.

May not want to put bank details in the app (an idea under review) but would be good to be able to flag that you have new details, so that others can see this and ask you for updated details before transferring (or maybe you can store just last 3 digits of acc number for comparison).

There can be profile setting where people add their PayPal or IBAN details and it'll be shown to your groups.

It's not about adding payment in-app, just for providing information of an actual payment ways for your debtors.

For example, I owe 500 to one of my friend. So I will call him and ask for account details like account number, name, IFSC details, MICR code etc. To know these details I have to call him and save it some where.
Here my idea is to give account option details while a new user register with Splitwise. It will make easy to the payee like the payee need not to ask him again for the account details. (Give an option to save the bank account details while creating account or already created Splitwise account) -

For Indian users, can you link UPI with the app for bills settlement. Paytm link had been quite helpful but everyone is moving towards direct Bank transfers. you could capture the same market!

It would be helpful if we could add our bank account details in our profile description... so that others can easily look it up if they want to pay us back....

Doing so, the user may be able to look after others bank information and deposit the debts they have

1. So as we could get account details from this app only for settling expense.
2. We need not required to go to bank apps for payment settlement. -

here in Brazil we pay to transfer money If the banks are different from each other. if i need to pay to someone who its bank is the same as mine, it would make it a lot easier

It would be great, if one could provide settlement information in the profile.
Like (all free form):
IBAN EUR: XXXXX
IBAN CHF: YYYYY
TWINT: 49453265 (mobile p2p payment option)
BITCON: jfndgjndjgnThis suggestion is about removing the friction of communicating the different channels people can use to send actual money around, not about integrating any of the channels with splitwise.
