Overview

Dine Together makes it easy for teammates to share group expenses directly through Custodia. Instead of one person covering the full bill and chasing reimbursements, the expense is automatically split among everyone’s activity budgets.

This feature is designed for group meals, team outings, or any shared purchase where multiple people contribute.

How It Works

Create a Group 

Each person starts with their own individual activity budgets. When time to split the bill, the users can initiate Dine Together to share a portion of their budget with the paying cardholder.

This creates a background group activity that holds the funds until the charge is completed.

Pay for the Group 

When someone pays (for example, the restaurant bill), the transaction is automatically recognized as part of the group activity. 

Split the Expense 

The organizer confirms how the total should be divided, usually equally between the shared amounts. 

Resolve the Expense

Once the split is confirmed, each participant’s budget is updated instantly.

Example

Imagine four team members (Ivan, Yuliia, Adam, Kawan) go to dinner, and one person (Yuliia) pays the $120 bill.

1. Create a Group 

• Each cardholder has a Meals Activity for $100 each. 
• Each individual can log into their application and swipe from left to right on the activity panel to select Dine Together. 
• Then select their colleague from the list and each send $30 from their Meals Activity budget

A Group Pay activity is now created and the person paying the bill has a specific time period to use the shared funds.

2. Pay for the Group 

The cardholder paying the bill can now swipe the card. With Dine Together:

• The group activity automatically detects the expense and the transaction is approved.

3. Split the Expense 

• The payer receives a notification of a successful charge 

•  
• Each group member will receive a notification that the charge was completed and will need to be finalized by the payer

4. Resolve the Expense

•  The payer can now confirm this expense belongs to the group

• The system splits it four ways, $30 each. The payer selects Split to finalize the expense

  

• Once finalized, each user will receive an Expense Resolved notification and each person’s Meals activity budget reflects their share instantly.
