How is eRentPayer better than services like autodraft, PayPal, RentPayment.com and other online payment services?
 A 
Most payment processing companies are not designed to service the needs of the property management industry. Their interfaces offer no management features. With eRentPayer, payments are tracked through a traditional property management interface. Funds are routed to correct destination accounts. Customized billing and integration features are also available. It is a completely paperless solution from start to finish.

 Q 
How does eRentPayer interface with the ACH Network?
 A 
eRentPayer processes online rent payments via the ACH Network. The Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) is an electronic payment delivery system that was introduced in the early 1970s as a more efficient alternative to checks. ACH has evolved into a nationwide network that processes electronically originated credit and debit transfers for thousands of participating institutions nationwide.

Debits authorized from residents' checking accounts are cleared and then routed to the bank of your choice. Debits may be set up on a one-time or recurring basis.

eRentPayer software has the unique ability to automatically generate industry standard NACHA files. There is no need for managers to create nightly batch files. eRentPayer automates the entire process from start
to finish.
