Group money is a shared record of who put in, what was spent, and what is left. It keeps everyone looking at the same book, so collecting for a trip or a party stays clear and honest.
Where to find it: Open your group and click Money in the left rail. You only see it when an admin has turned it on.
How it works
- An admin starts a fund and gives it a name, like 'Block Party 2026'.
- Members record what they have put in, and the fund shows the running total.
- Spending is decided by the group, and you can see open spending proposals and recent activity right on the Money page.
- Everyone in the group sees the same ledger, so nothing is hidden.
UpTrust does not hold or move money yet. You still settle up the way you already do, like Venmo, cash, or a check. The fund just keeps the shared record straight.
Turn it on or off
Money is off for most groups until an admin turns it on. To change it, an admin opens Group settings and ticks the Money checkbox. When it is off, the Money tool is hidden for everyone. Turning it off does not delete anything, and turning it back on brings it all back.
Decided together
Spending from a fund runs through the group's Decisions tool, so the group agrees before money goes out.
