Accountable PaymentsSM

Manage co-parenting expenses by requesting payments, sending money, and keeping transactions documented—without sharing banking details.

Upcoming shared costs and reimbursements shouldn’t require endless back-and-forth to sort out. Accountable Payments℠ gives you one place to request, send, and track co-parenting expenses, so fewer details fall between the cracks.

  • Create payment requests for shared costs as they arise
  • Add notes to clarify what payments and requests are for
  • Automatically document transaction history and details
  • Manage payments while keeping bank information private
  • Send and receive funds using ACH with US bank accounts
