Split Group Expenses
Keep track of shared expenses
Using the Split Group Expenses feature in the Westpac App, you can manage group expenses in one place:
- Split with up to 10 groups, each containing a maximum of 20 people
- Split expenses equally or into different amounts per person
- Send payment requests via SMS from the Westpac App
- Change status to paid for each person once payment is received
How does it work?
1. Open
Select the $ menu at the bottom of your home screen, select More, then go to Split group expenses. Follow the prompts to get started.
2. Create
Name your group. Add names and mobile numbers of the members sharing the costs, either manually or from your contacts list.
3. Split
Once you've created your group and members, choose how to split the costs – equally or a specific amount per person.
4. Track
Send a request for payment via SMS* to each member. When you receive the money, change the status for that member to paid.
