One link for everyone who wants to support your work.
TippyMe helps African creators and builders receive personal support — without sending a bank account to every fan.
The problem
Support shouldn’t mean sharing your bank details
When someone wants to thank you for your work, the options are awkward transfers, scattered payment apps, or pasting account numbers in DMs.
Bank details in chats
Account numbers get copied into WhatsApp, X, and email — then sit around forever.
Too many tools
Different platforms for tips, invoices, and messages make it hard for supporters to help.
Not only for influencers
Builders, writers, researchers, and community organizers deserve a simple support page too.
How it works
Three steps to start receiving support
Set up once, share everywhere, and let people support you on their own terms.
- Step 1
Create your TippyMe link
Sign up, add your name and photo, and get a personal link like tippy.me/you — ready in minutes.

Share it anywhere
Drop it in your bio, WhatsApp status, newsletter, or DMs. Supporters never need your bank details.

Trust & security
Payments handled carefully
TippyMe is your page and dashboard. Card and payout flows are processed through Bachs — we do not store full card numbers on TippyMe.
Secure payments
Supporters complete payment on Bachs checkout. TippyMe confirms support only after payment is verified.
Processed through Bachs
Checkout and settlement run on Bachs infrastructure. Automatic Friday payouts via Bachs Connect are coming — TippyMe is not a bank and does not hold balances for you.
Privacy by design
Supporter email is used for checkout. Anonymous tips keep names off your public page and recent messages.
Responsible handling
We limit access to payment data and rely on Bachs for sensitive financial processing. See Terms and Privacy for details.
Built with
The AIB Ship partners behind TippyMe
African infrastructure for payments, messaging, local webhooks, and deployment.
FAQ
Questions, answered
How TippyMe works for makers and the people who want to support them.
TippyMe is one link for everyone who wants to support your work. Share a personal page — like tippy.me/you — so people can send support and messages without needing your bank details.
Developers, creators, designers, writers, artists, open-source contributors, researchers, podcasters, community builders, indie hackers, and African builders — anyone people already want to support.
No. Anyone with your link can choose an amount, leave an optional message, and pay — no signup required.
Yes. Supporters can tip without showing their name, and still leave a kind message if they want.
Payments are processed by Bachs. TippyMe is the creator page, messages, and dashboard — not a bank. Automatic Friday payouts via Bachs Connect are coming when Connect settlement is enabled; TippyMe does not hold a withdrawable balance.
