How does the split actually work?

Kasheesh issues a virtual Mastercard for your purchase. When you pay, it charges your chosen debit, credit, and gift cards at the percentages you set, in real time, then funds the transaction.

Is Kasheesh still around?

Yes. As of 2026 the product is actively maintained, with native apps, a reusable Multi Use Card, and tap to pay.

Product judgment

The calls that made splitting work

Real cards, real rails

A virtual Mastercard charges the underlying cards in real time through trusted payment infrastructure, with no card numbers stored on Kasheesh servers.

Free where it counts

The base product costs shoppers nothing. Interchange pays the bills, which kept the value proposition honest: split your payment, keep your budget.

Meet shoppers where they pay

Browser extension first, then native apps, Apple Pay, and tap to pay. Each step moved the split closer to where purchases actually happen.
