Abstract

In some implementations, a user device may present, on a user interface, an arc-shaped user interface element. The user device may detect a user interaction that indicates a first point on the arc-shaped user interface element. The user device may present, on the user interface, a first arc portion of the arc. The first arc portion may represent a first amount, of a total amount, to be associated with a first user account. A second arc portion may represent a second amount, of the total amount, associated with the second user account. The user device may transmit, to an account management device, information that identifies the first amount, of the total amount, to be associated with the first user account.
