# Personal Payment Apps The Crowdfunding Site Tilt Now Offers One-to-One Payment Options on Its App By Hayley McGlone | Published 2016-08-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilt References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/3062668/tilt-wants-to-be-venmo-but-everywhere) & [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/09/tilt-dives-into-one-to-one-payments/?ncid=rss) Tilt is now offering one-to-one payments in addition to its [crowdfunding platform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstarter-2025). Tilt is launching the one-to-one payment option for international users. Making the feature available internationally would give it an advantage over Venmo, which is a peer-to-peer payment app that only operates in the US. The one-to-one payment feature makes it easy to transfer funds to contacts or groups. With 75% of Tilt users being university students or recent graduates, the peer-to-peer payment option will likely be very popular for paying for dinners easily or [splitting costs for parties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easysplit) or vacations. Tilt is hoping to fill the gap in peer-to-peer payment apps outside of the US by launching the feature in the UK, Canada and Australia, as well as in the US. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **International Expansion:** Tilt's launch of international one-to-one payment option aims to fill the gap of peer-to-peer payment apps outside of the US, providing opportunities for global expansion. - **Peer-to-peer Payment Popularity:** The popularity of peer-to-peer payment among university students and recent graduates suggests potential for growth in user base, as well as possible integration of related services (e.g. budgeting tools). - **Competition with Venmo:** Tilt's availability of international one-to-one payments aims to give it an advantage over Venmo and disrupt the peer-to-peer payment app market, indicating potential for further innovation and differentiation. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fintech:** As a peer-to-peer payment app, Tilt's international expansion and competition with Venmo suggests a potential for disruption in the fintech industry through innovative payment and financial services. - **Education:** Tilt's popularity among university students and recent graduates suggests opportunities for integration with education-related services (e.g. student loan payments, discounts for educational expenses). - **Hospitality and Travel:** The popularity of peer-to-peer payment for splitting costs and paying for group expenses suggests potential for integration with hospitality and travel services (e.g. payment for hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, and events). ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Group Finances-Centered Payment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-payment-app.md) - [Shared Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paymates.md) - [Tip-Based Blogger Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-tips.md) - [Crypto-Gifting Payment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cryptogifting-payment-app.md) - [Bill Splitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splitit.md) - [Integrated Bill Splitting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bill-splitting-features.md) - [Effortless Group Payment Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabbit.md) - [Stream-to-Earn Gaming Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tilted.md) - [Online Tip Collecting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collect-tips.md)
