Building money, clear to everyone

Open the unit, tap Statement, pick the period and share it as images or an Excel file — on WhatsApp, for example. It shows what the unit was billed, what it paid and what was forgiven, with the opening and closing balance.

• Any period up to 2 years.
• Shared as images or an Excel file.
• Can include residents' credit; you tick what to share.

The "Left after expenses" tile on the manager's dashboard shows it: the money collected from residents minus what was spent.

• Tap the tile to see what should be in hand once residents' credit is added.
• Building funds are counted on their own, not in this figure.

Record the money the building holds — a bank account or a reserve — as a fund on the app's Building funds screen, then pay all or part of an expense from it; residents are billed only for the rest.

• One expense can draw on one or more funds.
• Every change to a fund is kept in its history.
• The money stays in the building's own account; Ettihad records only.

Request a Building statement from the manager's dashboard and pick the period; Ettihad prepares one Excel file for the whole building and notifies you when it's ready.

• A summary per unit, credit accounts, dues, credit lines and expenses.
• In Arabic or English.
• The file stays available to download for 3 days.

Yes. When you mark a due as paid, choose to take it from their credit instead of waiting for new money.

• Credit never goes below zero; whatever it can't cover stays unpaid.
• In residential buildings you can pay a unit's open dues from its credit, oldest first, until the credit runs out.

No. Set the expense to repeat and it comes back every month by itself.

• A fixed amount is recorded automatically.
• If the amount changes — an electricity bill, say — you get a reminder to type this month's amount.

Yes. On a resident's Home screen, the Building expenses tile opens the list of what the building spent.

• Residents see the expenses in the app itself — no spreadsheet to send.
• Each expense shows its category, amount and date, with the receipt photo when there is one.

Remove it from the unit's screen; if it has payments, its history stays readable instead of being erased.

• Its unpaid share is split over the other units or covered by the building — you choose.
• Its past payments stay in the records.

Set up your payment methods, then tap “Share payment link” on the expense's dues list, or on a vacant unit's screen. The person opens the link in a browser, sees what is owed and how to pay, and pays the association directly, as usual.

• One link for a whole expense: post it in your residents' group chat, and each resident types the unit number to see what that unit owes. Up to 200 units; valid for 48 hours.
• From app version 1.4.0, a vacant unit (no owner or tenant in the app) gets its own link and a 6-digit code; the payer needs no account. Valid for 48 hours; it ends after 3 wrong tries.
• On that unit link, after the right code, the payer can tap “I paid” and pick how they paid. Nothing is marked paid until the manager confirms.
