Requesting back your money and paying back other people doesn’t have to be difficult. Tikkie lets your friends pay you back quickly and easily over WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger or by text message. And it’s really easy to transfer money with Tikkie, no matter where you bank. Anyone can use Tikkie! When to use Tikkie Tikkie comes in handy when you have paid for someone else and you want your money back, or when someone else has paid for you and you need to pay them back. 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. Really easy payment requests Simply use Tikkie to send a payment request over WhatsApp, Telegram or Messenger, by text message, or however else you want. 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! Good to know: your friends need the Tikkie app to join a Groepie. Unique deals with Tikkie Terug Get money back from well-known brands thanks to cashback promotions!

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Tikkie at 4.8 against UnitedConsumers's 1.0. Tikkie also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 1) and review sentiment (19% vs 0%). UnitedConsumers's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
