Is it possible to send money abroad?

Lydia can be used with anyone who has an account in euros with a payment service provider established in the SEPA zone. Germany, Italy, Spain, etc. The recipient does not need to have the app or a Lydia account.

Are fundraisers for causes allowed?

Lydia money pots are ideal for easily collecting money for an event (birthday, party, wedding, farewell, joint gift, etc.) with close ones (friends, coworkers, family, guests, etc.). They should not be used to raise money for causes, public donations, or appeals for generosity. For such purposes, we recommend solidarity funds like Leetchi or Le Pot Commun.
