The app that finally makes money easy.
The best way to avoid awkward text messages about money is to use Onward. With this app, you can easily add expenses, share them with your co-parent and pay your co-parent back right from the app – no more awkward text messages! It’s so easy and great for people who are working together on a shared expense.
Onward enables you to split each expense with your co-parent without having to rely on unnecessary and emotionally-charged text conversations. You can now propose how you would like to split a particular expense, share the details with your co-parent, and settle up via our verified ACH transfers so you have a neutral 3rd party validate that the payment took place or via our connections to apps such as Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or CashApp.

Highlighting features
Easily Track Expenses
With the Onward App, you and your co-parent can easily track all expenses related to your children right from your phone anytime, anywhere. You both can add expenses, assign them to a category (like education, clothing, or activities), and even include a receipt or photo. The app helps you streamline your shared parenting and finances in order to make these decisions easier for both of you.
Settle up in Seconds
Onward enables you to split each expense with your co-parent without having to rely on unnecessary and emotionally-charged text conversations. You can propose how you would like to split a particular expense, share the details with your co-parent, and settle up with your favorite apps like Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or Cashapp.
Visualize Your Financial Plan
Onward tracks your expenses and generates automated reports to support you in better understanding your overall spending. You and your co-parent can view the expense report by month, child, and category to understand how much you are spending on your children to better plan and budget for each of your futures.
Streamline Communication
By providing an easy and hassle-free way to manage your shared finances, Onward helps in streamlining communication. It provides a neutral platform for both parents to manage and split co-parenting expenses, helping you to keep negative emotions out of the conversation and away from your kids.
Get Paid Faster
Are you tired of reminding your co-parent to pay their share? Or annoyed with the amount of texts asking you to pay them back? Onward has got your back either way! Onward supports you by sending personalized reminder notifications to your co-partner to tactfully nudge them to settle up. Reminders help you get paid faster and with ease, without ever needing to send a text yourself again!
We have carefully designed all of these features with empathy and compassion so that we can help ease tension between you and your co-parent. Knowing first-hand how hard co-parenting can be, we also know that conversations about money management can make things harder and even negatively impact children.

Take Away
Onward is a lifesaver for those of us with co-parents. I’ve been using the app for over a year now and it has literally saved me so much time, money, and stress. It’s an absolute breeze to use, and my co-parent loves that she can see all her expenses in one place. She doesn’t have to worry about being unnecessarily charged or not being reimbursed for something that she had to buy
