No digital wallet balance to cash out. • Zero transfer fees: Send and receive money without paying 1.75% instant transfer fees. • Phone number claim links: Send money to anyone with a phone number.

CARD AND SUBSCRIPTION SPLITTING • Card sync: Link your credit cards and bank accounts through Plaid. Tap any posted charge to split it with friends. • Subscription detection: Clero identifies recurring charges like streaming services, gym memberships, and utility bills for one-tap splitting. RECEIPT SCANNING AND RICH RIDE BREAKDOWNS • Camera and Gmail sync: Snap a photo of a restaurant receipt or link Gmail to pull receipts from DoorDash, Airbnb, and dining spots. • Uber and Lyft ride details: Pull ride breakdowns including pickup and drop-off points, duration, driver details, and table tip adjustments. • Itemized claiming: Tap items to claim dishes or divide shared plates. • Proportional tax and tip: Taxes and tips split based on each person's spend. • Locked shares: When someone pays, their share locks so subsequent edits do not alter settled amounts. BATCH PAY, AND PARTIAL PAYMENTS • Batch pay: Select multiple open requests from the same friend and pay them all at once. • Partial payments: Pay open requests in increments while keeping track of how much you still owe. GROUP TYPES AND DEBT REDUCTION • Monthly groups: Built for roommates. Set a settlement date like the 1st of the month. When the cycle ends, Clero smartly tallies balances, generates payment requests for that month and starts the next month without manual setup. • Trip groups: Pool vacation expenses and generate payment requests automatically when your trip ends. • On-demand groups: Split expenses for social events and settle whenever you choose. • Simplify debts: Clero calculates the shortest route across group members to eliminate redundant back-and-forth transfers. • Splitwise import: Upload a Splitwise CSV file. Clero matches names to your contacts and imports your balances. SECURITY • Face ID and Touch ID confirmation required before money moves. • Bank-grade encryption across all financial rails. --- Support: https://clero.money Privacy Policy: https://clero.money/privacy Terms of Service: https://clero.money/terms

Went out with friends? Snap a photo of the receipt. Splits reads every item using AI, no typing, no squinting at tiny numbers. Share a link to your group chat and everyone picks what they had. Tax and tip get split proportionally based on what each person actually ordered. The best part? Your friends don't need to download anything. They open the link in their browser, tap their items, and they're done in 30 seconds. HOW IT WORKS - Snap the receipt: Take a photo and AI extracts every item, price, tax, and tip instantly. Works with any restaurant receipt. - Share a link: Send it via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any group chat. Friends claim their items right in the browser. - Settle up: One tap sends a Venmo request, Cash App payment, or Zelle transfer with the exact amount pre-filled. BEYOND RESTAURANT BILLS Splits isn't just for dinners. Covered an Uber? Split the groceries? Add any shared expense in seconds with Quick Add — just enter the amount, pick your friends, and split it equally or by custom amounts. No receipt needed. YOUR MONEY, YOUR PEOPLE Every shared expense lives in one place. Open Splits and see exactly where you stand with every friend, who owes you, who you owe, and how much. No more mental accounting or awkward "hey, did you pay me back?" texts. Tap into any friend to see your full history together, every dinner, every Uber, every settlement with a running balance that updates in real time. When it's time to settle up, one tap opens Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle with the right amount. Or just mark it as paid if they handed you cash. BUILT DIFFERENT - AI does the work: No manual data entry. Ever. Our AI handles quantities, multi-item lines, service charges, and every receipt format we've seen. - Zero friction for friends: They open a link. That's it. No app download, no account creation, no "can you install this real quick." - Actually fair: Tax and tip calculated based on what you ordered, not split evenly across the table. - Free: Unlimited scans, unlimited splits, unlimited friends. No premium tier, no scan limits, no paywalls.
