Security & Transparency: How Monly Protects Everyone

Trust is essential when handling financial support. Monly provides comprehensive tools to protect beneficiaries, empower fund managers, and ensure transparency for all supporters.

What Makes Monly Different

While other platforms focus solely on moving money, Monly stands out by providing robust security, transparency, and proactive care. We're not just a platform—we're a partner in ensuring every circle of support works smoothly and safely.

Protected Privacy

Fund managers control who can support each campaign, ensuring only trusted friends and family have access—protecting beneficiaries from unwanted exposure.

Full Transparency

Everyone can see exactly how much the beneficiary receives and when. No hidden fees, no surprises—complete visibility for all supporters.

Proactive Care

Monly acts independently to check on beneficiaries and ensure smooth operation, providing an extra layer of oversight beyond the fund manager.

1. Fund Manager as Strong Intermediary & Cheerleader

The fund manager plays a crucial role in Monly's security model. They act as a trusted intermediary between supporters and beneficiaries, ensuring the campaign operates with integrity.

Approval Tools for Privacy Protection

Fund managers have complete control over who can join and support each campaign:

  • Supporter Approval: Review and approve each person who wants to contribute, ensuring they're genuinely connected to the beneficiary
  • Privacy Control: Keep campaigns private within trusted circles—no public exposure or strangers accessing sensitive information
  • Invite-Only Access: Share campaign links only with people the beneficiary knows and trusts
  • Remove Access: Fund managers can remove supporters if needed to maintain campaign integrity

Ensuring Proper Use of Funds

Beyond just collecting money, fund managers actively ensure funds benefit the intended recipient:

  • Regular Check-ins: Stay connected with beneficiaries to understand their needs and progress
  • Monthly Reports: Document and share updates with all supporters about how support is making a difference
  • Personal Oversight: As someone who knows the beneficiary personally, fund managers can verify funds are being used appropriately
  • Cheerleading Role: Encourage and motivate beneficiaries, celebrating progress and providing emotional support

Fund managers receive 5% of contributions as compensation for their vital role in coordinating care, maintaining privacy, and ensuring campaign integrity.

2. Complete Financial Transparency

Unlike platforms where money flows into black boxes, Monly provides unprecedented transparency for everyone involved:

Why Transparency Matters

  • Builds Trust: Supporters can verify their contributions reach the intended recipient
  • Prevents Fraud: Open visibility discourages misuse and creates accountability
  • Empowers Supporters: People can make informed decisions about continuing their support
  • Protects Beneficiaries: Clear records help resolve any questions or concerns quickly

Every dollar is tracked from pledge to beneficiary, with complete visibility for fund managers and all supporters. No hidden fees, no surprises.

3. Monly as Proactive Care Provider

We see ourselves as more than a platform—we're active partners in ensuring every circle of support succeeds. Monly acts independently from fund managers to provide an extra layer of care and oversight.

Independent Oversight

While fund managers coordinate their campaigns, Monly operates behind the scenes to ensure smooth operation:

  • Automated Health Checks: Monitor campaign activity and flag potential issues before they become problems
  • Beneficiary Outreach: Periodically check in with beneficiaries to ensure they're receiving support and everything works smoothly
  • Payment Verification: Verify that funds flow correctly from supporters to beneficiaries without interruption
  • Dispute Resolution: Step in to help resolve any concerns between supporters, fund managers, and beneficiaries

Proactive Problem Prevention

Rather than waiting for issues to arise, Monly actively works to prevent them:

  • Payment Monitoring: Alert fund managers and beneficiaries if payments fail or experience delays
  • Activity Tracking: Notice when campaigns become inactive and reach out to ensure everything is okay
  • Support Resources: Provide fund managers with tools, templates, and guidance for effective campaign management
  • Community Standards: Maintain quality and safety standards across all campaigns

Personalized Support for Each Circle

Every campaign is unique, and Monly adapts to serve each specific circle of support:

  • Custom Guidance: Offer recommendations tailored to each campaign's specific situation
  • Flexible Solutions: Work with fund managers to address unique challenges or special circumstances
  • Responsive Help: Provide timely assistance when questions or issues arise
  • Long-term Partnership: Stay engaged with campaigns over months and years, not just at setup

Monly's team acts as an independent safety net, ensuring every campaign operates smoothly and every beneficiary receives the support they deserve.

These three pillars—fund manager oversight, financial transparency, and proactive care—work together to create the most secure and trustworthy platform for community-supported income:

  1. Fund managers approve supporters to protect beneficiary privacy and ensure only trusted people participate
  2. All supporters see exactly where money goes through complete financial transparency
