Send money to anyone with a Sling Link

Share a payment link via text, email, or QR code — the recipient will need to create a Sling account to claim

Updated over 3 weeks ago

A Sling Link lets you send money to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Share the link via text, email, or QR code, and your recipient sets up a Sling account and claims the funds in minutes.

How to send money via Sling Link

  1. Tap 'Send' on the home screen

  2. Tap 'Send to anyone using a link' or select a contact from the 'Invite to Sling' section at the bottom

  3. Choose the amount and currency you want to send

  4. (Optional) Add a note or photo to your transfer

  5. Review the transfer details and tap 'Send'

A Sling Link will be created to share with the person you want to pay. If they don't claim the link, you can cancel it and the money will be returned to your Sling Balance.


How to claim a Sling Link

  1. Open the Sling Link in your browser

  2. Tap 'Get started' > 'Claim to Sling Money'

  3. Download the Sling app on the App Store or Google Play

  4. Create your account

  5. Claim the funds! You may have to tap the original Sling Link again.

🚨 Important

A Sling Link works like a self-custodial wallet that holds digital dollars or euros. It contains a private key in the URL, which gives the holder access to the money.

This means anyone who has the link can claim the money, so make sure you only share it with the person you want to pay. Do not share your Sling Link publicly or with anyone you do not trust.

Sling Money monitors all Sling Link activity for suspicious behavior to help keep your money safe.
