Cheque

Your mates don't need the app. Scan the bill, share one link, and everyone claims what they had from their own phone — any phone. Cheque-Mate does the maths and shows who owes who, down to the penny, service charge included. SNAP. SPLIT. SORTED. • Point your camera at any receipt — every item lands in the split, priced and ready • Everyone claims their own items, so nobody plays banker • Drag your share — whole items, halves, thirds, a splash of the wine • Fair-share maths keeps totals honest to the exact penny TRIPS & GROUPS One folder for the whole trip — the weekend away, the flat share, the padel crew. Drop in receipts as you go, mates claim whenever suits them, and running balances keep score bill by bill. • See what's still unclaimed at a glance • Push notifications when someone joins, adds a bill, or claims the last item • Home Screen widgets: your share, who's racked up what, and the full who-owes-who matrix • End-of-trip insights: Big Spender, the damage curve, spend by venue • Shareable summary cards in ten styles — from clean glass to a thermal receipt NO APP NEEDED FOR YOUR MATES Send an invite link and anyone joins from their browser — any phone, any laptop, anything with a screen. They claim their items and see exactly what they owe, penny-identical to the app. Only you need the app. QUICK SPLIT One-off dinner? No folder needed. Scan, everyone claims, sorted before the coats are on. Save your favourite splits for the regulars. SETTLE UP IN ONE TAP Who-Owes-Who collapses the whole trip into the fewest possible payments. Tap Pay and it deep-links straight into PayPal, Monzo, Revolut, Venmo or Cash App with the amount pre-filled — whichever your mate actually uses. Card details never touch Cheque-Mate. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No bank logins, no card numbers, no ads. Payments happen in the apps you already trust — Cheque-Mate just does the maths. FREE TO USE Scan and split free every month. Cheque-Mate Pro adds unlimited scans, collaborative splits, premium share styles and more — with a one-off Lifetime option if subscriptions aren't your thing. Next round's on you. The maths is on us.
