The couple can redeem it straight to their bank like any cash gift. The difference is that this one came with a company and a note attached, so it's the gift they can actually recall a year later.
Plenty of couples are saving toward a down payment or kitting out a first place. A gift linked to a home-improvement retailer or a broad market fund fits that chapter better than another registry item.
There is no such thing as receiving two of these by accident, and nothing to return. It can't clash with the registry because it isn't on it.
Send it to whichever of the two you're closer to. They claim it with a free account and decide together where the cash lands.
Simple
Choose from Apple, Tesla, Nvidia, S&P 500 ETF, and more. Each tile shows the live price.
From $20 up. Add a personal message — they'll see it when they open the gift.
Enter their email or phone number. Your gift arrives within seconds. Want to hand it over in person? Generate a printable QR code instead.
The recipient creates a free Beestow account in seconds — Google, Apple, or email. They verify their ID once and receive cash via ACH.
Real people, real gifts
From the people sending Beestow gifts — and the ones receiving them.
For the recipient
Worried it'll be confusing for them? It isn't. No account required to receive — just a few taps.
They get an email, text, or QR code with your name and a message from you — it feels like a gift, not a link.
Free account via Google, Apple, or email. No brokerage account, no paperwork, no app to download.
The value tracks live with the stock price. They choose when to redeem — to any brokerage or bank, on their own timeline.
What their dashboard looks like
Built for trust
Beestow runs on regulated financial infrastructure — the same rails behind the apps you already use every day.
Payments
Card and bank payments run through a PCI-compliant payment processor used by household-name merchants. Your card number never touches Beestow's servers.
Payouts
When a gift is redeemed, its cash value moves by ACH through established US banking partners, straight to the brokerage or bank account you choose.
Account linking
When you link a brokerage or bank, it's through the same encrypted linking service the major consumer finance apps use — your login credentials are never shared with Beestow.
Beestow at a glance
Beestow is a registered California LLC. Recipients always receive cash at redemption, never securities.
What people actually give
Wedding cash gifts commonly run from around $75 for a colleague to several hundred for close family. Beestow gifts start at $20 and go up from there — you set the amount.
Works at the reception or from across the country
Send by email or text, or generate a printable QR code to drop in a card on the gift table.
No deadline to claim
Honeymoon first, admin later. Gifts never expire, and the value locks in at the moment they choose to redeem.
Redeems to a bank or a brokerage
Cash to a regular bank account, or into a brokerage if they already have one. Their choice, not yours.
There's no fixed rule, but cash wedding gifts commonly range from around $75 for a coworker to $200 or more for close friends and family. On Beestow you set any amount from $20 up, and a small flat service fee is shown upfront before you pay.
It reads the same way cash does — which surveys consistently show is what most couples prefer. The difference is presentation: instead of an envelope, the couple gets a named company, your message, and something they'll remember receiving.
No. They create a free Beestow account to claim, then redeem the cash value to any major brokerage or a regular bank account. No brokerage account is required on either side.
Yes — one person sends a single gift for the combined amount and adds everyone's names in the message. Group gifts are one of the most common ways Beestow gets used for weddings.
No. A Beestow gift is a prepaid gift whose value is linked to the stock's market performance. When they redeem, Beestow transfers the cash value to their brokerage or bank account — they receive cash, not securities.
The value is based on the live price at the moment they choose to redeem — not when you sent it. They control the timing, so they can wait. Gifts never expire.
