A brief history of OnePool
OnePool was born from a challenge our founders faced firsthand: group payments are messy, manual, and often stressful.
It all started when Lucía, our co-founder, was organizing her friends’ annual summer trip. The planning stage was full of excitement: picking hotels, debating beaches, imagining the adventures ahead. But when it came time to pay, everything fell apart. No one wanted to cover the full amount upfront, and coordinating multiple transfers quickly became overwhelming. In the end, the trip never happened.
That experience made us stop and think. The impact wasn’t just on Lucía and her friends. The hotel lost a booking, the airline lost several tickets, and the wider travel industry missed out too.
So we asked ourselves: what if we could fix this pain point for groups? And by doing so, also help businesses better serve their customers?
That’s how OnePool was born.
