🎥 Video: Pay Owners from Owner Statements
Clearing lets you send ACH payments to owners directly from their saved statements, whether you're paying a single owner, all owners at once, or a specific asset's statement.
Note: If you're looking for information on how to create owner statements first, see How to Create Owner Statements in Clearing.
Choose Your Payment Method
Step 1: Access the Statements Section
Log in to your Clearing account and go to Statements in the left-hand menu, then click Owner Statements, where you can manage all owner statements.
Step 2: Choose the Owner Statement Production Method
Once you're in the owner statements section, Clearing offers three ways to create and pay owner statements:
By Owner
All statements by Owner
By Asset
All statements by Asset
By Owner By Asset
Once a statement is created, owner payments can be sent using any of these methods.
Method 1: Paying an Individual Owner (By Owner)
Use this method to pay a single owner statement built for all property assets owned by that homeowner.
Step 1: Select the Owner
Go to the By Owner tab and choose the owner you want to create or pay a statement for. This brings up that owner's statements for the date range specified.
Step 2: Select the Statement to Pay
Select the specific statement you want to pay. You can select multiple statements if needed. If a statement hasn't been saved yet, it won't show up here, finalize and save it first.
Once selected, the option to Pay the owner will be enabled on the statement. This opens a payment form similar to the one shown in How to Set up Hassle-Free Payments for Homeowners. You can also mark it as Paid by clicking on Actions on selected Statement.
Step 3: Enter Payment Details
Review the pre-filled amount from the statement, then:
Select your source account, either an external bank account or your master balance account.
Choose the destination account, the owner's bank account (owner payment accounts can be saved as recipients).
Optionally add a memo with additional payment details.
If the owner has a single property on their statement, you can tie the payment to that asset. If the statement covers many assets, you can skip assigning an asset and pay the owner directly.
Choose the category you use for owner transfers. You can also mark it as a "Payment to Owner."
Step 4: Review and Confirm
Click Review & Confirm at the bottom right of the payment form. Once you've reviewed the details, click Confirm to initiate the ACH payment.
Step 5: Add Another Transaction (Optional)
To pay another owner or vendor in the same batch, click Add Another Transaction to start an additional payment.
Step 6: Add a New Recipient (Optional)
If you need to add a new recipient, click Create a New Recipient in the top right of the payment form, then provide their account number, routing number, and other required information.
Method 2: Paying Multiple Owners at Once (All Statements by Owner)
Use this method to manage payments for multiple owners in a single step.
Step 1: Filter and Select Multiple Owners
Go to the All Statements by Owners tab and use the filter options to select multiple owners by property, date range, or other criteria. If statements haven't been created yet, click Create, select the relevant owners, and complete the process. The date range you're creating statements for should already be reconciled in the Transactions tab.
Step 2: Initiate Bulk Payment
After selecting the relevant statements, click Open to review each one and confirm no changes are needed. When ready to pay all selected owner statements at once, click Pay.
Step 3: Enter Payment Details
As with individual payments, the payment form is pre-filled with the confirmed statement amounts. Choose the source and destination accounts for each owner.
Step 4: Review and Confirm
Click Review & Confirm.
Once you've reviewed the details, click Confirm to initiate the ACH payments for all selected owner statements.
Method 3: Paying a Specific Asset's Statement (By Asset)
Use this method to pay a single asset's owner statement, or a group of assets, when an owner prefers their statements broken out per asset rather than combined.
Step 1: Select the Owner and Asset
Go to the By Asset tab and choose the owner and the asset (or group of assets) the statement and payment will be created for.
Step 2: Select the Statement to Pay
Select the specific statement (or group of statements) you want to pay. Saved statements live in the left panel.
Once selected, click Pay. This opens a payment form.
Step 3: Complete the Transaction
As with the other methods, choose the source and destination accounts, add a memo if needed, then review and confirm the payment.
