How can I update my payment method?

To update your payment method, you should visit the rental payments page inside your account and click on the 'Update payment method' button on the top right. You will be prompted to enter the new details and verify them. Once verified, you will receive confirmation via email of the updated details and will also be able to view them on the rental payments page.

Can more than one tenant set up a payment account and can we split payments?

Only one payment account may be set up for the tenancy and split payments are not available. If there are multiple tenants on your tenancy, you should decide who will be responsible for making the payments and organise transfers between yourselves as required.

Are there any fees for payments?

There are platform fees for payments. However, if you choose to pay rent using a bank account, platform fees are waived. The payment amount is clearly displayed at the time when you set up your payment method.

Payments made directly from a bank account are the recommended option when setting up your payment method on the platform.
