Now, I wish to reference our CTO, Pete Casson, In this blog here.

In theory, there was no reason why money pools would have failed. They had a wealth of 337 million users on their platform; a strong percentage of which would have surely benefited from the group payments technology PayPal offered.  

However, by our understanding, money pools was a good idea poorly executed. For a start, they had given it a second rate status within the app. Using it as a tool to lure customers into the more monetizable elements of their app. 

There were also simple issues with the useability of the platform itself. With money pools everyone was required to have the PayPal app to contribute to the collection. This was a simple issue that could have been rectified if not for PayPal's insistence on making people profitable as opposed to making a product of genuine value. 

Ultimately Collctiv stands for simplicity; this is why our primary focus is making group payments as simple as they can possibly be. Something that PayPal neglected and ultimately paid the price for. 

“Our aim with Collctiv is to make it incredibly quick and easy to collect money from a group of people. Anything that slows that down or stops it from happening needs to be stripped out or overcome - Pete Casson, CTO Collctiv.”

So what now for collecting group payments?

Swooping into the Autumn with the ferocity of a hungry and very bald Eagle, spare a thought for the open casket of money pools.

With longer nights turned colder days, If you're heading inside this Autumn, consider Collctiv for the organisational elements - ensuring group payments remain simple fundamentally. 

And while you may not be totally overwhelmed by our logic for money pool's shortcomings, we promise the logic is entirely valid. Money pools was a flawed platform that we can only stand to learn from. In doing so we can ensure that Collctiv is always of value to everyone moving forward into the scary realm of social events and group payments.
