Even 10 cent Tikkies: do payment apps make us stingier? | Join the conversation

Paying for a whole group is no longer a task, you simply send ten people a Tikkie of a few euros. But do you also send a Tikkie for smaller amounts?

Not even a euro

One does this faster than the other and that can be due to various reasons. Some may not be financially well off, but some may also be a bit stingy. Nowadays it is becoming easier to send a payment request, so it is also easier to do that for very small amounts. Like a Tikkie for less than a euro, for example.

Opinions about sending a Tikkie and the amount thereof differ. For example, Yesim got a Tikkie for a drink. And disagreed.

Dian isn’t a fan of the payment requests either.

Melle’s mother, on the other hand, keeps everything neat and tidy.

Laura doesn’t mind being stingy either.
