Whether it’s a one-off purchase or various different group expenses, Tikkie can be used in any situation. You might have paid for: • drinks with your club friends; • a present for a colleague; • festival tickets; • weekend away with friends; • household expenses in your student house.

The request will contain a link that your friends can use to pay you back. So you no longer need to exchange account numbers! Your friends don’t need to have Tikkie, but they do need a Dutch current account, and a Dutch, Belgian or German phone number. Tip: you can now also let your friends fill in the amount themselves. That’s handy when different people owe you different amounts. Track your group expenses and settle up Tikkie makes it easy for you to keep track of group expenses too. Create a Groepie, invite your friends, and you’re good to go. All of the group members can add and settle up expenses, with a Tikkie of course!
