Back in July, RentPayment hosted a promotion for four property management companies designed to help increase the number of residents who use AutoPay. AutoPay is a recurring monthly debit from a resident’s checking account in the form of an eCheck, an electronic version of a paper check.  Any resident within these four property management companies who signed up for AutoPay by eCheck with RentPayment from July 1^st to August 5^th, 2011 was automatically entered to win a $200 MasterCard Gift Card!

The time has come to introduce our winner:

Lisa Cordeiro of Pocasset Village, a Bilotti Group Inc. Property!

Lisa learned about RentPayment and its AutoPay promotion from her property management team who took time out of their busy schedules to hand out flyers to all the residents!  She loves that “RentPayment’s AutoPay feature makes it easy to ensure [her] payment is on time every month.”  Lisa also shared with us that she recently moved into Pocasset Village and began using RentPayment right away! Her property managers introduced her to the benefits of paying rent electronically from the get go and she has really enjoyed not having to “worry about getting stamps or taking a chance the mail will be late.” 

Lisa is going on a vacation in November and says the “extra money will make [her trip] even more fun!” Congratulations Lisa, enjoy your trip and your $200 Master Card Gift Card and thank you for using RentPayment!

The process of transitioning residents to electronic payments can sometimes be quite daunting and difficult for property managers.  RentPayment offers several great services to help market ePayment services to apartment communities and increase the usage of online payment options.  Among these great services are custom promotions designed and implemented for select Property Management Companies and Multi-Family Housing Communities.  For these management companies, we host promotions and incentivize residents to make the switch to electronic payments. 

We are currently hosting a promotion for four property management companies designed to help increase the number of residents who use AutoPay.  AutoPay is an automatic recurring monthly debit from your checking account in the form of an eCheck. An eCheck is an electronic version of a paper check used to process direct debit from residents’ bank accounts using bank routing and account numbers. With this service, residents never have to remember to write a rent check or deal with late fees ever again!   Any of the participating properties’ residents who sign up for RentPayment’s AutoPay by eCheck service between July 1^st and August 5^th, 2011 will be automatically entered to win a $200 MasterCard Gift Card!

To many, the thought of paying your rent or bills online may include hesitation and concerns about security. Since the Internet has become so pervasive and fast, it can be hard to know which online services to trust with your money.

However, RentPayment makes the transition to ePayments easy and comfortable.  With the quality services RentPayment offers, you can relax knowing your money is always transferred securely and on time.

Some may think paper checks and billing are still the safest way to go.  However, there are huge risks associated with paper payments compared to online payment. According to American Banker Magazine, more than 1.2 million fraudulent checks are written each day. That equals more than 13 per second! By utilizing e-Payments, the chance of lost, misplaced or stolen checks is no longer a concern.

The truth is, problems with electronic payments are extremely rare.  Due to accelerated processing times and instant return notification to the payee, the electronic check conversion process has proven effective in fewer returns, earlier fraud detection, and fewer errors.

Paying your rent and bills online can actually be safer than taking them to a bank or writing checks. According to NACHA (The Electronic Payments Association), almost 85 percent of identity theft occurs with offline transactions. In addition, RentPayment’s ePayment platform has received the highest level of security the federal government can award to a business processing ePayments, including PCI compliance and SAS 70 certifications.  Personal data remains safe and secure on a private network that is only accessible by RentPayment security-screened employees.  Furthermore, payer information is never released to third parties or banks.

With RentPayment, safety is guaranteed and convenience is promised. With our services, you’ll never forget to pay your bills again thanks to the email and text alert applications that remind you when money is due and/or withdrawn.  To add to the list of conveniences, our electronic payments typically clear your account in about two business days, whereas paper payments can take weeks. Recurring direct debit payments can also be set up using AutoPay, eliminating late fees and penalties.  In addition, keeping record of your payments and direct deposit details has never been easier thanks to our payments archive, which keeps track of your payments in an online database that you can easily access from anywhere.  Now you don’t have to worry about endless amounts of paper and books to keep track of.

It’s time for a more convenient and lower risk solution – ask your property management company today if you can pay your rent using RentPayment!
