Frequently asked questions
Everything people usually want to know about tracking expenses with Meezanya in the UAE — what it costs, whether it needs your bank, and how it handles dirhams.
Is Meezanya free?
Yes — creating an account and tracking your spending is free. No card required to get started.
Do I have to link my bank account?
No. Meezanya never asks for your bank login and has no access to your accounts. You type what you spent in plain words and it does the rest, which is why it works with any UAE bank — Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, Liv. or anything else — without integration.
Does it work in dirhams (AED)?
Yes. Amounts show in AED by default for UAE users, and budgets and reports are all in dirhams. If you move or bank elsewhere you can change the currency in settings.
Can I track spending in AED and my home currency?
You can set your currency in settings, so expats can keep Meezanya in AED for daily UAE spending. Per-transaction currencies for remittances are not supported yet.
How does the quick-add work?
Type what you spent in plain words like “coffee 18, fuel 145”. Meezanya reads the amount and picks the category for you, so logging takes seconds. It recognises UAE names like Talabat, Carrefour, Careem, Salik, Noon and DEWA out of the box.
Does it learn my spending?
Yes. When you correct a category, Meezanya remembers it — so the next time you type the same shop or phrase it files itself. It also learns from the entries you have already categorised.
Is my financial data private?
Your data is isolated to your account and stored securely. There is no bank connection to compromise, we never sell your data, and you can export everything to CSV anytime.
Can I use it on my phone?
Meezanya works in any browser and installs to your home screen like an app, on iPhone and Android. There is nothing to download from an app store.
Can I set budgets and recurring expenses?
Yes. Set a monthly limit per category, and add recurring bills — rent, DEWA, Salik top-ups, Etisalat or du, subscriptions — that get logged automatically each month and flagged for your review.
Can my partner and I track together?
You can record who paid for each expense, so a household can see the split. Full shared accounts with separate logins are planned.
