Weddings are expensive, and 41% of couples go over budget before they even get to the honeymoon. We didn't want Honeyfund to be one more cost on top of that. So we’ve made a 20-year commitment to maintain fee-free options.
With the Honeyfund Wallet, you choose how and when to redeem your gift funds. Go completely fee-free with any combination of the Honeyfund Prepaid Mastercard® and more than 300 popular gift card brands. Or have your funds deposited into your PayPal or Venmo account for a low fee of 2.2%. If you prefer to route funds to your own bank account, the fee is 3.5% + $0.59 and that requires setup in advance of gifts.
Here's a breakdown of what you pay for a $150 gift:

What does Honeyfund REALLY cost compared to other sites?
A lot of registries advertise "zero fees," but look closely, and it's because your guests have to pay you directly in the Venmo app where their gift could be public. And they still might pay fees if they fund that gift on a credit or debit card. Then, you're on your own to track it, handle refunds and customer service, and have no protection if something goes wrong. And guests without a Venmo account are stuck.
