How sending to friends works with Moreta Pay

Every Moreta Pay account comes with a Moreta tag, a short name like @maya that friends use to find you. Once you both have the app, paying each other takes seconds.

Two ways to find a friend

You never need a friend's bank details, only a way to find them on Moreta.

Type their Moreta tag

For a friend who isn't standing next to you.

  1. Open Send and type their tag, such as @maya
  2. Check the name that comes up is your friend
  3. Enter the amount and slide to send

Scan their code

For a friend at the same table.

  1. Ask your friend to show the code in their Moreta app
  2. Open Send and scan it with your camera
  3. Enter the amount and slide to send

Request money, or get paid with your code

Sending is half of it. When a friend owes you, you don't have to wait for them to remember.

  • Request money

    Ask a friend to pay you. They approve the request in their app, and the money lands in your Moreta account.

  • Share your Moreta tag

    Post your tag in the group chat, and any friend on Moreta can pay you.

  • Show your code

    Open My code and let a friend scan it, with no tag to spell out.

  • Say what it's for

    Add a note of up to 100 characters. Your friend sees it with the money.

Why friends pay each other with Moreta Pay

Settling up on a trip usually means cash, a bank transfer or a promise to sort it out later. Between Moreta users it is one step.

  • No fee

    Sending to another Moreta user is free, so they receive exactly what you send.

  • Instant

    The money is in their Moreta account as soon as you slide, ready to spend or send on.

  • No bank details

    All you need is their Moreta tag or their code. No account numbers to copy out.

  • They know straight away

    Your friend gets a notification when the money arrives, so nobody has to send a screenshot.

What friends use it for

Moreta Pay is built for paying local QR codes abroad, so one person often ends up paying for the whole table. Sending between friends is how everyone else pays them back.

  • Splitting dinner

    One of you scans the restaurant's QR code and pays. Everyone else sends their share before the plates are cleared.

  • Sharing a taxi or a villa

    Split the ride from the airport or a week's stay without working out who has the right notes.

  • Paying a friend back

    Borrowed some cash at the night market? Send it back the moment you remember.

  • Covering a travel companion

    If a friend's balance runs low mid-trip, send them some of yours and they can keep paying by QR code.

Cash and IOUs vs Moreta Pay

Money between friends gets awkward when it drags on. This is what settling up looks like each way.

Sending to someone who isn't on Moreta? Send Money pays out to their bank account instead.

Cash and IOUs

  • Find an ATM and pay its fees
  • Nobody has the right change
  • Settle up after the trip, if anyone remembers

Moreta to Moreta
