Pay friends bank to bank.
Link the bank accounts you already have, give each one a daft nickname, and pay a friend straight from one of yours into one of theirs. We never hold your money.

Where the money goes
Straight from your bank to theirs.
When you pay someone on Faloos, the money leaves your bank and lands in theirs. It doesn't stop off with us on the way. We never hold your money, so there's no Faloos pot in the middle. We just draw the arrow.
Just pick your bank.
- Pick the bank you already use.
- Approve it in your bank's own app. Faloos never sees your bank password.
- Give the account a nickname. Make it a silly one.

The sentence
Every payment is a sentence.
Every account you link gets a nickname you choose: #trustfund, #krustykrab, #emergencycrisps. A nickname belongs to one account, never to a bank, so two accounts at the same bank get two different names.
Then you write who pays whom, and the sentence is the payment.
- @shah: you
- #trustfund: your account
- £50: how much
- =>: goes to
- @amira: your mate
- #rainyday: one of their accounts
Activity page
Make one yourself.
Drag a sticker onto each side of the arrow, or click one and then its space. Tap a sticker, then tap its space. Pick an amount and stamp it. Nothing gets sent; it's a zine.

Each person decides for their own accounts. In the app, this is also the moment your face or fingerprint approves the exact amount and person (turn the page).

Approval
Nothing moves until you approve it.
Every payment asks for your face or fingerprint, for the exact amount and the exact person it's going to. If anything changes before it's sent, that approval no longer fits, and nothing is sent.
- The amount. £50 means £50, not £500.
- Who it's for. @amira, not someone who looks a bit like her.
- Anything changes? Nothing is sent.

The feed
Who paid who. Nicknames optional.
Friends see payments in the feed like this: @shah £50 => @amira. Each person decides whether their own account nicknames show, so Amira can show off #rainyday while you keep #trustfund to yourself.

Getting paid
Codes, QR and bills with open slots.
Your pay link and QR.
Everyone gets their own pay link and QR code. Whoever scans it can pay you, with an optional amount and a note.
Price tags.
A fixed-price share code is a reusable price tag: seven characters, one price. Anyone with the code pays that price.
Requests and splits.
Ask a mate for what they owe, or split a bill between a few of you.
Bill with open slots
Pizza night
£64 between four. Tear off a slot and pay your £16.
Bill code PZ4N1TE
Claimed: @amira, @jonno. Open: 2.
- Slot 1, claimed by @amira
- Slot 2, claimed by @jonno
Demo: tearing a slot here doesn't pay anyone.
