What's great about RentPay?

Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned renter, RentPay can make your rent money work harder for you:

• Tailor your payment timing: Choose to manually or automatically debit rent weekly, fortnightly or monthly—you can pay on a schedule that works for you. You can even debit rent on payday, while RentPay sends rent exactly when and how your agent wants it.
• Convenience and flexibility: Pick from our wide range of payment methods and manage everything at the tip of your fingers with our user-friendly app.
• A safe rental payments platform and digital wallet: When your funds are deposited with RentPay, they are treated like funds in a bank account. Only you can access your funds, and we have security measures to protect your account from unauthorised access. Rest assured, you can pay rent safely with RentPay.
• Keep track of your rental payments: Having a clear record of past payment history can make all the difference to your next rental application, but it's often tricky to find this information in one place. Go to the RentPay app and tap 'Transactions' on your dashboard to view your payment history.
• Build your credit score: With our optional Scorebuilder feature, access a line of credit and your repayment history contributes to your credit score. This may help improve your borrowing capacity for life's bigger purchases, like a car or property of your own. Fees & charges, T&Cs apply.
• Create a savings buffer: RentPay's buffer feature lets you stash away cash for those rainy days when you might be short on rent, insulating you against unexpected events.

You can get started by either downloading the RentPay app (App Store or Google Play) or sign up online. The app will step you through the set-up process, which you only need to do once.

How to pay rent with RentPay

RentPay comes with a digital wallet, where we'll store your funds, ready to pay the rent. When you set up RentPay, we'll ask you how and when to pay funds into your wallet. We'll also ask you when you want us to transfer the rent to your property manager.

We suggest you set up automated rent payments. This means you'll provide us with the amount and frequency of your rental payments. From there, we'll make the payment based on your instructions. If you prefer, you can make a manual payment too.

Regardless of your property manager's preferred payment method, RentPay has you covered. We'll pay directly into their bank account, so from your agent's point of view, they'll see your rent being paid with your payment reference information attached.

If you're unsure of your agent's information (such as their bank details), check your lease agreement or contact them directly to confirm the correct details before you start.
