Credit Card Processing for Property Management

One of the most time-consuming tasks for property managers is rent collection. Traditional methods, such as collecting checks and corresponding through mail, can be cumbersome and inefficient. To address these issues, property managers should consider implementing a property management payment gateway to streamline the rent collection process.

Benefits of a Property Management Payment Gateway: A payment gateway offers numerous advantages for property managers and tenants. These include:

Time-saving: With a payment gateway, tenants can easily follow a payment link or log in to the property manager’s website to enter their credit card details on a secure shopping cart. This eliminates the need for in-person meetings or mail correspondence, saving time for both parties.

Recurring payments: Property management payment gateways often offer subscription options for recurring payments

Safe and Secure payments: As the security standard for card payments, adhering to PCI compliance guidelines is vital for businesses to protect their customers’ sensitive information and maintain a trustworthy reputation.

The Property Management Industry is Often Categorized as High Risk Due to the Increased Occurrence of Fraudulent Claims and Chargebacks.

This heightened risk makes it challenging for property management companies to secure standard merchant accounts with popular providers.

Banks perceive the diverse clientele and tenant interactions within the property management sector as a potential liability, making them reluctant to extend their services to these businesses. As a result, property management companies must seek out payment processors specifically tailored to their needs to maintain smooth operations and avoid disruptions in managing their properties.

Implementing an online property management payment gateway offers several advantages, including:

  1. Automation: Streamlining the process of accepting and processing tenant rent payments, whether they pay manually or set up recurring payments. This automation allows property managers to focus on other aspects of their business.
  2. Reduced Missed and Late Payments: Providing tenants with an online payment system for rent can significantly decrease late and missed payments. Tenants can conveniently pay their rent at any time on their due date, even if they are away from home, thus improving the timeliness of rent collection.
  3. Enhanced Security: An online payment system can reduce the risks associated with manual payment processing and check management. Property managers can safeguard their tenants’ personal and financial information by employing an encrypted online payment system, mitigating the risk of data breaches and theft.

Please note, this is NOT a complete list; Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. serves hundreds of additional mid and low risk industries, too.

If the opportunity is right we will of course try to be considerate.

Sorry, we are unable to provide merchant services for foreign or offshore businesses, or any company that is headquartered, or operates, outside of the USA. We are also unable to provide merchant services for any business whose owner does not have a valid SSN and US issued identification (driver’s license, US passport, etc). That said we are working to fix this issue and should have a solution early 2025.

Yes, your startup or new business can be approved by Moneybox Merchant Services for a merchant account. We love startups! While newer businesses without processing history sometimes encounter hurdles when it comes to approval, Moneybox has helped many brand new businesses get their start in payment processing.

A high-risk merchant account is designed for businesses deemed as “high-risk.” These types of businesses have a greater likelihood of chargebacks, fraud, or other financial risk factors. High-risk businesses require such accounts to be able to accept credit and debit card payments.

Various industries are considered high-risk because of their inherent attributes. Some examples include CBD (Cannabidiol) products, e-cigarettes, vape products, stun guns, credit repair services, multi-level marketing, adult products/services, pawnshops, dietary supplements, SEO services, and tech support.

No central authority determines a business’s high-risk categorization. Every payment processor or bank sets its own standards, often based on internal risk management criteria. Providers assess businesses based on several detailed information bits to ascertain risk levels.

Factors contributing to a high-risk business include being a new business, having poor credit records or low credit scores, operating in controversial or highly regulated industries, relying heavily on international sales, and previous placements on the MATCH list by payment processors.

High-risk merchant accounts differ from regular accounts in several ways such as having a longer application process, higher payment processing fees, cash reserve requirements, volume caps in credit card processing, higher chargeback fees, and additional requirements based on the business type.

A high-risk business should ensure it maintains healthy cash levels, tries to reduce chargebacks, discloses all relevant information during the application process, keeps its financial documents ready, and adheres to the guidelines set by its payment processor.

Moneybox Merchant Services Inc. may not cater to all high-risk businesses (e.g. CBD merchants). It offers an upfront underwriting process that identifies risk factors early, saving the merchant time and potential costs. However, if Moneybox cannot service a particular business, they may recommend a processor better suited to your needs.
