Sending to Someone Not on Dripelo
You can send to any @handle, phone number, or email—even if the recipient has never used Dripelo. The money waits securely as a Pending Deposit until the recipient signs up and verifies ownership of that identifier.
When you pick an unregistered recipient, an info banner appears on the send form:
Not on Dripelo yet. Funds wait securely until they claim.
How it works
- You confirm the send—the money is set aside for the recipient
- Dripelo shows a Notify {name} share button so you can post a claim message on X (or the platform you sent to). No automatic message is sent on your behalf
- The recipient opens the link, signs up, and verifies the handle/phone/email you sent to (OAuth for socials, SMS code for phone, link for email)
- The money is released to their account automatically
Fees
Sends, claims, and reclaims are always free—no fees for you or the recipient.
Reclaiming an unclaimed send
If the recipient doesn't claim, you can reclaim your money:
| Timeframe | Who | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Before claim, anytime after 325 days | Sender | Cancel the deposit and reclaim funds |
| After 365 days | Dripelo | May recover unclaimed funds |
Open Activity to see pending sends and cancel them directly.
You stay in control
Once claimed, the money lives in the recipient's own passkey-secured account. Dripelo safeguards funds but never moves them without authorization.
Message
Add an optional message (up to 100 characters) that the recipient will see with the transfer in their Activity feed.
Amount
Enter the amount to send. Tap the Max button (arrow-up icon) next to the input to fill in your entire available balance.
QR Scanner
