Crowded is a financial platform that offers HOAs an easy way to collect, spend and manage money online.

With Crowded, you can avoid constantly transferring funds between payment apps and banks to access your HOA’s money. Utilizing embedded finances, Crowded enables you to bank, collect, and spend with just one platform.

We charge little to no fees.

When collecting funds through Crowded, you’ll have the flexibility to decide whether to cover processing fees or let your payers handle them. When we do charge fees, they are fair and competitive with industry standards.

Venmo & Paypal? Great for friends, not for your HOA. Here’s why Crowded is the better app for collecting dues & for events:

Built for Organizations: Manage all your group’s finances in one platform. Create organized collections, track incoming payments, send reminders, and see who’s paid at a glance.
Tax-Friendly: Don’t worry about unexpected tax liabilities with Crowded. In 2025, collecting over $600 will result in extra reporting requirements for users of Venmo/PayPal/Zelle. With Crowded, no extra reporting is required!
