About

The cost of doing things together shouldn't get in the way.

Ante is a checkout button for groups. We make it possible for a cabin, a dinner, a gift, or a bachelor trip to be paid for together — without one person fronting the cost, chasing repayments, or carrying the credit card statement alone.

What we believe

Built for the moment

Group purchases happen in seconds. Our flow is designed to feel native to that moment — not a finance app afterthought.

Infrastructure, not a wallet

Merchants stay the merchant. Customers don't sign up. We sit underneath the checkout, not in front of it.

Money-grade trust

PCI-DSS Level 1, full pre-funded settlement, and refund-on-bail by default. The boring parts done right.

Quietly opinionated

Three split modes. One service fee. No tipping screens. The fewer choices we make for you, the better the choices feel.

Origin

Splitting a bill shouldn't feel like a part-time job.

Anyone who's organized something with a group knows how it goes. One person puts a large amount on their card, and then spends the next few weeks chasing everyone else down for their share — sending follow-up texts, screenshots of the receipt, and reminders that always feel slightly awkward.

Meanwhile the merchant on the other side is losing the sale whenever the group can't pull the money together in time. The thing being purchased is for the whole group, but the checkout was only ever built for one person.

Ante exists because that gap shouldn't exist. A checkout button that knows a group is on the other side. Merchants get paid in full. Friends split fairly, in seconds, without anyone having to front the whole thing or do collections afterward.
