Borrow from friends
without the awkward bit.
Borrow easily, lend confidently, repay simply.
Lending between friends, without the friction
Money between friends is normal — the admin around it isn’t. Slide makes borrowing, lending and paying people back feel simple and fair.
Borrow from people you trust
Young people can borrow small amounts from friends in their circle, instead of asking awkwardly or going without.
Lend without chasing
Friends can lend a little and keep track of it in one place — no more chasing someone for a fiver you forgot they owed.
Parents add a safety net
Parents contribute to a Safety Pool that sits behind the circle, so lending between friends carries less risk.
Clearer than an IOU
Every request, transfer and repayment is written down and easy to follow, and paying people back on time builds Trust Points you can redeem for rewards — the whole thing just feels less messy.
Four simple steps
Slide keeps the flow short: borrow, lend, repay, and let the Safety Pool handle the risk in the background.
- 01
Borrow
Ask a friend in your circle for a small amount. They see exactly what you’re asking for and can say yes in a tap.
- 02
Lend
Lend a little to someone you trust. The amount and any agreed date to pay it back are recorded for both of you.
- 03
Repay
Pay it back when you said you would. Every on-time repayment earns Trust Points and builds your Trust Score, and Slide keeps a clear running record so nobody has to bring it up.
- 04
Stay protected
The parent-backed Safety Pool sits behind the circle, reducing the risk for friends who lend.
Trust Points add up as you borrow, lend and repay on time. You can redeem them for gift cards and other rewards, and a friendly leaderboard turns building good money habits into a bit of a game.
A real product, built for real circles

Handle money between friends like an adult would
Small amounts, real accountability, and none of the friction that makes lending to a mate feel like a bad idea.
More financial independence
Cover a small gap yourself instead of waiting on pocket money or asking a parent for everything.
Borrow from people you actually trust
Your circle is small and chosen by you — friends, not strangers or an app you’ve never heard of.
Clear repayments
You always know what you owe, to whom, and by when. No mental maths, no surprises.
No awkward chasing
Slide keeps the record, so friends don’t have to nag each other and nobody feels weird about it.
A bit of friendly competition
Borrowing, lending and repaying on time earns Trust Points you can redeem for gift cards, and a leaderboard keeps it light — good habits, with something to play for.
Support, visibility and a bit more peace of mind
Slide gives parents a way to back their teen’s lending circle and see how it’s going, while the day-to-day stays between friends.
The Safety Pool
Parents contribute to a shared pool that sits behind their teen’s circle, so a missed repayment between friends doesn’t have to become a fallout.
Visibility, not surveillance
A parent dashboard shows the activity that matters — what’s been borrowed, lent and repaid — without reading every message.
Room to build good habits
Small, real stakes give young people a low-risk way to practise borrowing responsibly and paying people back on time.
Designed to stay small
Slide is built around small amounts between trusted friends — not open-ended credit.
Slide is preparing for private beta. Nothing here is financial advice or an offer of credit, and the Safety Pool is a protection feature between participants — not insurance or a financial guarantee.
Built around trust, not risk
Lending between friends already happens. Slide’s job is to make it clearer and fairer — with the people you trust, and a parent-backed cushion behind it.
Trusted circles
Slide only works inside a small circle the young person builds themselves. Lending happens between people who already know and trust each other, which is what makes informal lending work in the first place.
Parent-backed protection
The Safety Pool is funded by parents and sits behind the circle. It’s there to soften the impact of a missed repayment so a small amount of money doesn’t damage a friendship.
Responsible by design
Small amounts, clear terms, and a visible record for everyone involved. Repaying on time builds your Trust Points; miss a payment and you lose some, and a lower Trust Score can mean you’re able to borrow less going forward. Slide is built to encourage paying people back on time, not to pile on debt.
