We believe good renters deserve great perks. That’s why we created RentPay, a smarter way to manage your rent and get rewarded for it.

Built by listening to over 700,000 renters, RentPay is part of our mission to empower renters with more control, flexibility and benefits.

Why choose RentPay?

RentPay helps you stay on top of your rent by letting you set up alerts and reminders, so you never miss a payment.

Sync your rent due date with your payday to make managing money easier, and even create a savings buffer to cover unexpected costs.

Plus, with Scorebuilder, your on-time rent payments are reported to to illion, one of Australia’s major credit bureaus.

This can help you build a positive credit history, which may be a handy boost for future borrowing, whether it’s for a car or your first home.

Flexible (and safe) payments made easy

With RentPay, you get real control over how and when you pay your rent.

Choose to pay weekly, fortnightly, or monthly from your bank account, credit or debit card, PayID, BPAY, or popular digital wallets like PayPal, Alipay, WeChat Pay and UnionPay.

You can even sync payments to hit your landlord’s account on payday, ensuring your rent is paid on time, every time.

When your funds are deposited with RentPay, they are held and protected in an ANZ Bank trust account that adheres to regulatory and compliance requirements, before they are paid to your agent’s trust account.

Your funds can only be accessed by you, and we have security measures in place to protect your account from unauthorised access.

Rewards and extra benefits

RentPay doesn’t just make rent easier… it helps you save and earn.

Through RentPay shopping rewards, you can earn cashback when shopping with over 140 Australian retailers.

There’s also a new bill smoothing feature, which breaks large utility bills into manageable regular payments that align with your rent schedule.

And when you invite friends to join RentPay, both you and your friends earn cashback rewards—a simple way to make money together.

Payment methods and fees

No matter what payment method your landlord or agent prefers, RentPay has it covered.

Rent is paid directly into their bank account with your payment reference attached, just like a regular payment.

If you’re unsure about the correct bank details, it’s a good idea to double-check your lease agreement or contact your agent before setting up payments.

Sending and receiving money using your RentPay wallet or linked bank account is free; however, there is a 0.99% fee when paying by credit or debit card, and BPAY transactions incur a $1 fee.

Other payment options include:

  • PayPal (1.55% for AmEx)
  • Alipay (1.50%)
  • WeChat Pay (1.50%)
  • and UnionPay (2.20%)

Managing your rent payments

RentPay provides a wallet where your funds are securely stored, ready to pay your rent according to your instructions.

You can set up automatic payments to match your rent schedule or make manual payments whenever you choose.

If your rent changes (for example, due to a rent increase), your agent can send you the updated amount in the app.

You’ll receive a notification and can approve the new amount with a tap, so your payments adjust automatically.

How to get started

Getting started with RentPay is quick and easy. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play, or sign up online.

The app will guide you through the setup process and you only need to do this once.

Then link your preferred payment method, choose your schedule, and start renting smarter with more control and benefits.

So, are you ready to take control of your rent and start earning rewards? Join RentPay today and experience renting made simple, secure and rewarding.
