A group money transfer technology that enables a sender to send a group payment or a group request for payment to any number of users that are nearby to effect multiple money transfer transactions are disclosed. The sender can use a payment application executing on his or her mobile device to input an amount and select a group payment or a group request for payment as a request type. In response, the payment application identifies multiple individuals that are nearby the sender or in the same geo-fenced area and are likely to be the intended recipients. The identification of the multiple individuals can be based on location alone, or in combination with one or more contextual criteria based on contact information, schedule information, transaction history information, and the like.
