Creating your association

Register your resident association on BUCA and get your admin account ready. Everything — members, payments, and security logs — lives in your private workspace. Takes about 5 minutes.

Before you start

• Have your RA's name and email address ready. The email address you enter becomes your login and is where your confirmation link is sent — use an email you can access right now.
• You only need to do this once. If your association is already on BUCA and you just need to join it, ask your committee admin to add you instead.

Steps

1. Open the registration page

   Go to app.buca.my/public/companies/new in your browser.

   

2. Enter your RA's name

   In the Name of RA field, type your association's full name — for example, Taman Indah Residents Association.

3. Enter your RA's email

   In the Email of RA field, enter the email address that will manage the account. A confirmation link will be sent here — make sure it is an inbox you can open right now.

   Use a shared committee email if possible

   An address like ra@tamanlindah.com or a Gmail shared with a few committee members means the account is not locked to one person's inbox.

4. Enter your RA's contact number (optional)

   In the Contact number of RA field, enter a phone number for the association. You can leave this blank and fill it in later.

5. Submit the form

   Click Create RA.

   

6. Check your email inbox

   You will see the message: Please check the inbox of your email. Open your email and find the confirmation message from BUCA.

   

   Can't find the email?

   Check your spam or junk folder. The email comes from BUCA and arrives within a few minutes.

7. Confirm your email and set a password

   Click the confirmation link in the email. You will be taken to a page where you can set your password. Choose something secure and click Set my password.

   

8. Log in

   Enter your email address and the password you just set, then click Log in. You are now inside your association's workspace.

   

What happens next

Your account is set up as a full committee admin. You can now manage members, payments, events, and security — everything BUCA offers is available to you.

Before residents can start submitting payments, you will need to complete a few more steps:

1. Add your houses — import a list of units, or add them one by one under Houses.
2. Add your members — import from a spreadsheet, or let residents sign up themselves. See Importing your data.
3. Create a membership fee cycle — go to Membership Fee → New and set the year and fee amount. Once saved, residents can start submitting payments.
