Secure payments for housing and rental providers

Housing associations, landlords, and letting agents collect rent and service charges securely. Automated recurring payments and payment chase reduce arrears.

Industry Challenges

The payment challenges facing housing & rentals

Phone payments create unique risks and compliance burdens that generic solutions don't address.

Rent Arrears

Late and missed rent payments are the single biggest financial challenge for housing providers. Manual chasing is time-consuming and inconsistent, and arrears compound quickly.

Manual Payment Collection

Tenants call to pay rent by card, and staff take card details over the phone. This exposes your organisation to PCI compliance risk and puts tenant data at risk.

Tenant Data Security

Housing providers hold sensitive personal and financial data for vulnerable tenants. A data breach could cause serious harm and erode trust in your organisation.

Recurring Payment Management

Setting up and maintaining recurring rent payments across hundreds or thousands of tenants is complex. Card expiry, failed payments, and tenant turnover create constant admin.

How Paytia Helps

Purpose-built for housing & rentals

Every feature designed to solve real payment challenges in your industry.

DTMF Masking Technology

Proprietary DTMF masking means tenants key in card details during the call, but your staff hear only flat tones. Card data never enters your housing systems.

Recurring Rent Payments

Tenants set up recurring card payments during a single phone call. Tokenised storage means rent collects automatically each month without re-entering card details.

Automated Payment Chase

Send automated reminders with secure payment links to tenants in arrears. Reduce overdue rent without tying up housing officers on collection calls.

Tenant Payment Portal

Give tenants a self-service portal to make payments, view balances, and manage their payment methods — available 24/7 without needing to call.

Bank Account Capture

Securely capture bank account details for Direct Debit setup during phone calls. Offer tenants the payment method that works best for their circumstances.

Complete Audit Trail

Every payment, reminder, and tenant interaction is logged with full audit detail. Demonstrate compliance and resolve disputes with complete transaction records.
