Integrate with GoCardless for Payments
It would be great to avoid the pain and frustration of paypal and just link my GoCardless account with Splitwise so people could pay me via the app or a simple GoCardless URL
They (https://gocardless.com) offer really simple payments with a 1% transaction charge up to a maximum of £2.
Their API is fantastic, very well documented and I think it would be very simple to integrate with.
We don’t currently have plans to integrate with payment providers beyond PayPal, but we will consider additional integrations based on user interest.

Thanks Peter! I hear you - great idea, but most users aren't in the UK so it's not a super-high priority yet. But it is something I think would make sense long term.

GoCardless and Stripe are both excellent in terms of end-user convenience and in the overall developer experience. (Way friendlier than PayPal.)
I mention Stripe because they recently unveiled "Stripe Connect", which is a lot like Amazon Payments (used by Kickstarter), except with a much more streamlined process for getting users signed-up and accepting payments.

I would really encourage you to look at https://gocardless.com/how-it-works and check out the API. They're a fast growing company here in the UK and they would make the 'Settle Up' process so simple.
A simple field in my account such as "GoCardless Paylink" which other users could click on would be a very simple level of integration but I feel it could work really nicely.
