Are there any uk sites that allow you to set up a joint page for friends to put money in for a holiday?

    Can't you just open a regular savings account and give everyone the details so they can pay into it?

    As others have said open up a saving account for this purpose and get people to pay into it. Its what we do when a group of us are going away, transfer the money into the savings account using our names as the reference when we pay money in. That way we can see who has paid in and who still needs to pay.

    Its very simple and far easier than trying to get the money of people face to face.

    Yes and its american based and not available to the UK. Open a savings account and get people to pay into it, its simple and easy to do.

    Or there's payumi which is an american site that claims it can deal with UK currency.

    It also requires that you have a paypal account to transfer your money to.
