Property managers and small letting agents collect rent from many tenants, pass it on to landlords and pay contractors for repairs. Much of this is still done by manual bank transfer and spreadsheets. A payments platform built for them can automate the routine and cut mistakes.

What property managers want

  • Monthly rent collection that runs by itself.
  • Simple transfers on to landlords.
  • Quick payments to contractors after a job.
  • Clear records for each property.

Reaching them

Property managers meet through local landlord associations, property shows and online groups. Start with small agents in one area and use their results to win the next ones.

Things to watch

Many countries have rules about holding tenants' deposits and client money, so check how these apply before you launch. Keep landlord and tenant money clearly separated in your records.
