Common Issues

How do I get verified?

You have three options to become a Verified Borrower:

  • Complete 5 paid bookings (free, earns trust naturally)
  • Use a coupon code like EARLYBIRD2025 (free, instant)
  • Pay £3 for instant Stripe Identity verification

Go to your profile page to get started.

How do I set up payouts to receive money?

To receive payments as a lender:

  1. Go to Settings → Payouts
  2. Click "Set Up Payouts with Stripe"
  3. Complete the Stripe Connect onboarding (2-3 minutes)
  4. Add your bank account details

This is required before you can receive any payments. It's completely free!

What are the platform fees?

BorrowMe charges a 15% platform fee on all transactions.

Example: If you rent an item for £100:

  • Borrower pays: £100
  • Platform fee (15%): £15
  • Lender receives: £85

This fee covers payment processing, platform maintenance, and customer support.
