Be the friend.
Not the bank.
You found the house. Everyone says they're in. But when the deposit is due, why should one person carry the cost?
Huddles helps turn the group's “yes” into a commitment, so getting together doesn't come at the expense of your friendships.
“Let's get a house
for the weekend.”
“Can everyone
send their share?”
better than chasing friends.
A house for 12.
Not a loan
to your friends.
The place is perfect. The group chat is enthusiastic. The host needs a deposit.
So you put it on your card. Then the maybes arrive. Someone needs more time. Someone drops out. You send another reminder and feel awkward asking for money that was never yours to cover.
The problem isn't finding something worth doing.
It's knowing the group is really in.
A real “I'm in.”
Before you're
on the hook.
Set the plan, the commitment amount, the minimum group and the deadline. Everyone can see what they're agreeing to.
For supported deposit plans, people contribute their own share. You can see the commitment taking shape before deciding to move forward.
Less guessing. Less chasing. A clearer decision.
“Maybe.”
“Count
me in.”
A shared understanding.
Not another reminder.
Everyone carries
their part.
The organizer shouldn't be the group's lender. Huddles' deposit flow gives participants a way to contribute directly to the plan rather than leaving one friend to front the whole amount.
Pay by card or an eligible wallet through Stripe. Available options appear at checkout.
You organize the experience.
Not a round of IOUs.
Deposits are charged when a participant commits, not when the minimum is reached. Deposit access is limited; installment financing is not currently offered.
And if the group
doesn't come
together?
The whole point is to find out before one person is left carrying the plan.
When a deposit plan misses its threshold before funds are released, deposits and Huddles service fees are refunded automatically, less non-refundable processing fees.
A plan that falls through shouldn't
turn into a friendship problem.
Refunds typically take 5–10 business days. A disputed payment waits for the bank dispute to resolve. After funds are released, different cancellation and refund rules apply. Review the terms shown for your plan before paying.
The plan has
a threshold.
Your friendship
shouldn't.
Automatic refund under the plan's rules.
Processing fees are not refundable.
Keep the good part.
The dinner that runs late.
The story you'll tell for years.
The people you wanted to be with.
That's what the plan was for in the first place.
A little help
getting there.
