FAQ

Eddy$ is virtual gift money, technically stored value, that consumers can share, exchange, and redeem, directly from a mobile phone. Eddy has combined the original social glue of gift-giving, with the convenience, speed, and security of mobile payments, to completely reimagine what used to be accomplished through paper gift certificates or plastic gift cards.

It’s easy.

To buy and send Eddy$, simply select a gift merchant and gift value ($10, $25, $50, $75, or $100). Add your personal message, a photo or video. Provide your payment method, and the name and number of your gift recipient. Set your gift to be delivered privately (for you and your gifter’s eyes only) or to be shared within your friend group, or the Eddy community at large. Then tap send!

To redeem Eddy$, your recipient simply adds it to her Apple or Google wallet, visits the gift merchant, and taps to pay via a contactless/mobile payment.
