Studies show all types of renters want to pay rent online. Convenience is a big part of the value today’s renters seek from their landlords or the property management company that serves them.

As you automate your entire business, you’ll enjoy the extra time and how the friction that wore you down, is suddenly missing.

Automating rent payment systems lowers payment processing time by 90%. If you have a big number of tenants/properties, the time savings from automated payments could be substantial. Time is money and staff can be redeployed to more important work.

The Bank Account Setup is a Very Simple

Setting up online payments for collecting rent is very simple today. It can be set up different ways, but in most cases it is done via the bank’s app which connects your account. This is a process used by many software platforms, and it’s secure and private.

For renters too, the setup process is so convenient. Once completed, your cash flow will improve, and if there are late payments, you can charge late rent fees automatically.
