Passenga
How it works

Three sides, one flow — held together by escrow

Passenga coordinates backers, hosts and providers so nobody has to trust a stranger with their money.

For backers

You contribute to a pool that interests you and co-plan with the group. Your money is protected the whole way.

  1. 1

    Find a pool

    Browse pools scoped to your country or Global. Filter by category, sort by trending, ending soon or most backed.

  2. 2

    Chip in safely

    Contribute via card. Your money goes to Passenga's escrow ledger — never to the host's account.

  3. 3

    Co-plan the trip

    Propose itinerary items, vote and discuss with the group while funding progresses.

  4. 4

    Enjoy or refund

    Once fully funded, staff book the provider. If the pool doesn't hit its goal, every contribution refunds to your wallet.

For hosts

You start a pool for a trip, party or group purchase. Passenga handles money, review and provider payouts.

  1. 1

    Draft a pool

    Pick a category, currency and funding model (open amount or equal shares). Add cover, description and target date.

  2. 2

    Get approved

    Staff review your pool for clarity and safety — usually within 24 hours. Requested changes come back inline.

  3. 3

    Rally backers

    Share your pool link. Answer questions in the discussion tab and update backers as milestones hit.

  4. 4

    We fulfil

    Once funded, Passenga pays the verified provider directly. You focus on showing up and hosting a great experience.

For providers

Tour companies, drivers, hotels, guides and digital sellers get pre-funded bookings from real groups.

  1. 1

    Apply

    Submit your business details, licenses and coverage areas. KYC and document verification are handled by staff.

  2. 2

    List services

    Publish the services you offer — tours, transport, venues, digital licenses — with clear pricing and capacity.

  3. 3

    Get booked

    Funded pools that need your service are routed to you by staff. You confirm availability and accept the booking.

  4. 4

    Get paid on time

    Once fulfilment is confirmed, Passenga pays out from escrow on your published schedule. No chasing hosts.

Escrow flow

Where your money actually goes

Every contribution flows through a single escrow ledger. Hosts never touch the cash; providers get paid only after staff confirm fulfilment.
