Real estate teams process payments in a multitude of different ways—recurring rent, one-time deposits, application fees, maintenance reimbursements, and even large card-not-present transactions for clients out of the area. The right real estate payment processing solution should lower fraud exposure, fast-track funding and disbursements, and keep everything easy to track when multiple properties, owners, and payment types are involved.
Manage ongoing payments such as rent, maintenance fees, and membership dues with ease through automated billing and recurring payment options. This reduces administrative burden and minimizes late payments.
Offer clients a secure, easy-to-use portal to make payments directly online. Our digital payment portals are accessible 24/7, allowing tenants, buyers, and sellers to manage their payments seamlessly.
High-value transactions and card-not-present payments can invite disputes—friendly fraud or actual fraud. Your payment processing solution must accommodate risk controls, explicit descriptors, and dispute processes that protect revenue without adding friction to tenants, buyers, and clients.
Payments are personal. They may seem straightforward, but many involve sensitive PII and financial information. You need PCI-compliant processing, tokenization, and clean reporting so when a tenant, owner, or accountant needs proof of something, you have it available quickly.
Owners and vendors want to receive payments promptly—your team should enjoy predictable settlements, not unexpected holds. The best system supports quick funding when needed and flexible payouts for multi-property owners, including ACH transfers when cards aren’t practical.
Support for various payment channels such as credit/debit cards, eChecks, and ACH to meet the needs of diverse clients, whether they prefer in-person, online, or mobile payments.
Gain insight into transactions and cash flow with comprehensive reporting tools, helping you make data-driven decisions and maintain smooth financial operations.
Our dedicated team is available to assist with setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization, offering industry-specific expertise to help you succeed. With 24/7 support, Payment Nerds ensures that your payment solutions are always functioning at peak performance, giving you and your clients peace of mind.
When you’re collecting payments across multiple properties and methods, consistency is critical. Payment Nerds makes in-person and online payment acceptance possible through a single approach, with secure processing, robust fraud controls, and tools that make sense for property teams on a day-to-day basis.
If your payments are deemed higher risk—high-ticket, higher dispute frequency, frequent card-not-present transactions—your merchant account needs to be established with that context in mind. We focus on underwriting that aligns with your volume and business model, so you can expand collections for rent, deposits, and fees with as few interruptions as possible.
Furthermore, you need accessibility—not a messy collection of exports and manual adjustments. With the right integrations and reporting, we can align each payment with the appropriate property/tenant or owner, making collection easy come month-end, tax time, or any other day a question arises.
Payment links and invoices are a great way to collect deposits or one-off charges/application fees, making it easy for clients to complete payments on their devices. You get the paper trail should a chargeback need resolution, while the client has a clearer experience paying.
Reduce chargebacks/fraud by implementing layered fraud protections to reduce friendly fraud from friend connections or trusted neighbors. The proper transaction descriptors improve dispute outcomes, while the timestamps and associated documentation should be compiled quickly—not scattered across systems.
Establish recurring billing for rent, storage, HOA dues, or ongoing services with secure tokenization. This protects you from PCI exposure and limits the data retained from credit cards since you won’t be storing raw card data elsewhere. This prevents late payments from tenants and reduces manual follow-up across your portfolio, leading to more predictable cash flow.
Seamlessly connect your existing bar point-of-sale systems without any interruptions or retraining. Our solution operates in the background, ensuring your team continues serving customers without downtime or a steep learning curve.
Integrate seamlessly with third-party applications you already use to reduce collection inconsistencies and back-office headaches. The right solution works behind the scenes to minimize duplicate entry while keeping payment records associated with the appropriate property/tenant or client.
Integrate with other third-party applications for:
Transparent pricing. Month-to-month options available. U.S.-based support.
Fees depend on your payment mix (card vs. Automated Clearing House (ACH)), ticket size, chargeback risk, and volume across properties. The goal is predictable pricing that fits your model, not a teaser rate that falls apart once you add online payments, recurring billing, or higher-ticket transactions. If you have multiple locations or manage funds for different owners, pricing should also account for payout complexity and reporting needs.
Security starts with PCI-compliant processing and tokenization, which limit your exposure when you take cards online rather than storing credentials for recurring rent payments. You can add fraud controls/verification steps that are meaningful for higher-risk payments, such as card-not-present deposits, as well. The goal is simple: Limited disputes; fewer headaches; secure transactions for tenants and clients alike.
Usually yes! When direct integration is not available, there are often manual processes through gateways/invoicing workflows/API connections instead. The goal is to map payments to the correct property/tenant/client ownership while ensuring a clear audit trail is available. We usually start by identifying what you currently use, what you want to automate, and where errors/delays occur.
It all depends on underwriting, your operating model, and how quickly the required documents are provided—especially if you’re processing larger, higher-risk payments—but many businesses can get set up without delay once approvals are granted for initial applications, call verifications, and document collection. If you need ACH, recurring billing, or specific integration work done, we plan the rollout so you’re not rushing in the middle of the month.
Most commercial real estate operations need a mix: credit/debit cards, ACH transfers, payment links, invoicing, and mobile wallet options, where applicable. This allows you to match payment preferences with the reason (rent/recurring fee vs deposits/remotes vs in-office), while a more diverse offering minimizes costs and boosts on-time performance, since it’s easier to check out.
