Slash - Shared cards to split subscriptions, spend with friends

With Slash, issue joint cards that you and your friends “co-own.” Spend a fraction of what you otherwise would on subscriptions by seamlessly splitting costs with friends.

This is awesome idea !

This is cool! Reminds me a bit of Braid. You should target college students. They'd be all over this.

@sarrah Thanks Sarrah! Both Kevin and I are actually in college ourselves, so most definitely :)

fun & definitely useful for real life situations

?makers this is awesome!!! Do users decide which apps to use this for or are these partnerships you're cultivating with subscription services?
Victor Daniel Cardenas
@yehoshua_zlotogorski Hello Yehoshua! You can create a card to use literally anywhere, and don't actually need to share it with anyone, we just give you the option of adding a limit on it to prevent overspending and sharing it with a couple buddies to automatically split costs. We do, however, let you link the card to the subscription of your choice in a couple clicks (redirect you to Netflix's payment details page, for example)!

@victorcc super cool, beyond being a user myself, this might be an interesting angle to add to the subscription service we offer @Alpe Audio - I'd love to enable group buying for students it's just not so simple and this might solve that!

how were you able to issue cards? are you using a payment platform in the back?
Kevin Bai
@bulut_jotform Yep! We're partnering with a BaaS (banking-as-a-service) provider to issue Visa cards.

Could this work with shared cell phone bills?
Kevin Bai
@zerodrek yeah! As long as you pay your cell phone bill with a card, you can switch your current payment method to a Slash card instead.

Brilliant idea @victorcc , feels like a lot of people will find this product super helpful! What do you think of companies like Netflix, who starting to make efforts to prevent people from sharing accounts? Do you think more and more companies will try to take steps to prevent people from sharing subscriptions?
Victor Daniel Cardenas
@dulzorigoo That's a great point and one we think about a lot, Dul! Netflix definitely is at a stage where they can start to crack down on this sort of activity because they're gargantuan. Our hypothesis is that it's actually not in the interest of most "smaller" providers (Peacock, HBO, etc) to take such a negative view on account sharing, as it lets them target a group of people that otherwise wouldn't have purchased their service. Hope that clears things up and let me know what you think of the product when you try it out!
