Before you leave
Agree a settlement currency and load the group on each device while online. Download scanning assets if you expect patchy data.
- Create the trip group and invite friends to join their accounts.
- Add bookings with the payer and exact, percentage, equal or weighted shares.
- Use a separate expense for optional activities so the others do not inherit those costs.
During the trip
Record purchases in their original currency. Choose a daily reference or enter the card rate and check the result. Reference rates differ from bank rates and fees. Expenses saved offline need the app open online to finish syncing.
Bring the trip to a close
Review outstanding bills and repayments together. Pay with your usual bank or payment app, then record it in AA split; AA split does not move money. Export a whole-trip Excel or PDF report before finalizing a settled round, which locks its records.
Common questions
What is the best way to split expenses on a group trip?
Use one group for the whole trip. Record each cost with the person who paid, include only the people who shared it and keep it in its original currency. The running balance shows who owes whom, so the group can settle up once at the end.
What if some friends join only part of the trip?
Choose the participants for each expense, or use weighted shares, so people who joined only some days or activities pay only for what they shared.
Can friends from different countries split a trip?
Yes. Each expense keeps its original currency, and the group settles in one currency using daily reference rates with no AA split markup or the rate your bank charged. The app is available in English, Chinese, Malay, Japanese and Korean.
