Send a payment request to your contacts easily with the Tikkie app. In this way, advanced money is quickly repaid.
What is a Tikkie?
Tikkie is a free app that allows users to easily request money back from others. For example, after a dinner with a group or an outing where someone has paid (all) costs in advance. Via the app, that person makes a payment request, also called a Tikkie, for the correct amount. This request is then sent via WhatsApp or SMS to the people who still have to pay. Young people in particular often say to each other after paying: ‘I’ll send you a Tikkie’. In other words: ‘I’m sending you a payment request’.
The people who have to pay do not need the app itself. They tap the link and pay with iDEAL through their own bank. Tikkie is connected to the account number of the person sending the payment request. This way money is transferred easily and quickly. Although the app is from ABN AMRO, anyone can use it (including customers of other banks).
