Requesting money from another Rainpay user

Send a request with a memo; they approve or decline it.

  1. 1Open Request money.
  2. 2Enter the person's @username, email or phone number, the amount, and a short memo saying what it is for.
  3. 3Send it. They get an alert and see it in their requests list.
  4. 4They approve — money moves instantly and free — or decline with a reason.
  • A request never takes money on its own; only the payer can approve it.
  • You can cancel a request you sent while it is still pending.
  • Requests expire after 14 days if nobody responds.
