The Power of Paperless Payments for Affordable
Reduce risk of theft and fraud, manage costs, save staff time and collect rent sooner with RealPage® Payments — now with simplified pricing created for the Affordable Market.
The Hidden Cost of Paper Payments
If you’re an affordable housing owner or operator who has been hesitant to switch to an online resident payment platform, that hesitation may be costing you more than you think. Paper check processing and manual entry of resident payments isn’t free—it comes with a price: time lost for site staff, increased chances of theft and fraud, delayed rent collection, and more.
Residents Want Options. Now, You Can Provide Them.
Offering residents multiple ways to pay rent means more predictable and consistent management of costs, no matter how they choose to pay:
eMoney Order
Replace in-office, paper money order payments with cash payments made at nearby retail facilities—and see these payments immediately reflected in the resident’s account.
Online and Mobile Payments
Empower residents to pay online or from their smartphone—automatically—with either a bank account (ACH payment) or a credit or debit card. Because ResidentDirect manages the payments and fees directly with your residents, there’s no cost—and less hassle—for you.
Lockbox
Lockbox, a new RealPage Payments solution, streamlines rent collection and allows residents the option of paying by check and money order while eliminating the in-office handling of these paper payment methods.
