allow receiver to confirm payment before it reflects in splitwise
Today my friend updated that he maid a payment to me for the money he owed me. This got reflected on my dashboard, which now shows that he does not owe me any money. In this case, he transferred the money through internet banking. Before the changes get reflected on the dashboard, splitwise should ask me for confirmation whether I have received the payment. If I say yes (after checking my bank account) then only it should show on my dashboard that my friend does not owe me any money.
Splitwise actually used to work this way, but we got rid of the confirmation step because people complained that it was too much of a hassle (and we agreed). We think that Splitwise becomes too difficult to use if you have to manually approve every change in your account.
Our in-between solution was email notifications. By default, you should get an email any time someone says they have paid you, and then if you wish you can double-check that they have actually given you money. (And if they haven’t, then you can delete the payment from Splitwise!) You can also see a full record of changes in your account at any time by going to the “Recent activity” screen.
Hope that makes sense! Let us know if you have questions or concerns.

Hi SplitWise i really appreciate your app and also support such a nice concept but one thing i think is missing in your app is approval while settling up as anyone from the group can settle up money in case if he/she has not paid for the same also i have read your comment here:
http://feedback.splitwise.com/forums/162446-general/suggestions/3864369-allow-receiver-to-confirm-payment-before-it-reflecthen also i would recommened that there must be a approval system in splitwise as the main purpose of using splitwise is just because we donot need to remember everything but if approval is not there then this purpose will not get fulfilled if someone starts cheating and it will be restricted to loyal ones.
Thnaks and Regards

This must be included in the Splitwise. If by any chance or by any mean someone settle up without actually settling up then they have to again make an entry, this will create more problem. So inspite of these issues, there should be a CONFIRMATION NOTIFICATION or ALERT which is to be sent from that user to the respective other user for CONFIRMING the SettleUp

if anyone in a trip grp can just settle up without the other party confirming its open to lying and accidents. once the payer says settled up a notification the payee should apear and require agreeing before debt is shown up

It would be great when it asks for a approval/alert when some one deletes a expense which you are involved.

lino lazar commented
if the moeny which i lent is settled up by other person. kindly wait for my acknowledgement to approve that settleup. only after my approval the transaction get reflected in splitwise dashboard.
without this feature one can be easily fooled in a group transcations.

There should be two sided verification for settled bills,a bill should not be settled until both side payee/receiver has agreed to it ,only one can't just click say that bill is settled.

I want the app to have the spender receive a notification for approval of a settlement before the settlement is carried out.

Subhash commented
please add a approval when someone settled a balance

Saransh Singhai commented
There should be confirmation / approval system for any changes made to any past activity OR even if we add a new expense.
This is must.

What I meant is if one party initiated the settling of transaction the other party should be confirming it before it is recorded as settled else it's pretty unfair

When I pay back someone, I click on the "Régler" (French) button. It would be great if my friend would receive a notification or email where he/she can confirm receiving the payment.
Great app by the way.
Keep up the good work. -

When a person gives settle up with a another person, there should be some way to check if the amount sent is correct or not.Hence a pending approval should be sent to settled up person, before the owe amount gets erased from the mobile app (from the home page)

Thank you so much for this app! It has almost all the features I want!
One suggestion: Will you add a cash payment confirmation to the receiver? Otherwise one may lost track and get fake cash payment record from other people. -
Dhaval commented
Settle up process must be complete only after getting Approval from Receiver.
Settle up must have Approval from both the party.

Should be confirmation from all relevant parties involved whenever any expense/payment is entered.Post confirmation, hit the balances of all

Natalie Clarke commented
When bills are settled there isn't a way to confirm that payment has been made. When person 1 pays person 2 then person 2 should need to confirm that payment has been successful before it is considered "settled up"

All a setting to add payment approval by both parties before it posts.

For adding new bill, There has to 1 more verification. as soon as you add bill notification has sent to recipient to verify the bill. After he/she conform All arithmetic formulas should apply to other transection. This will add more transperancy. One other suggestions after that verification only who added particular bill she/he can only edit or delete those bill.
