Problem
Managing shared expenses has always been a significant pain point for younger adults, particularly in group settings such as dining out or traveling. Existing financial tools fail to address the complexities of dividing expenses, especially when multiple payment methods are involved or when users need detailed transparency. This often leads to confusion, errors, and dissatisfaction among group members.
