Paymentus Partners With PropTech Leader MRI Software to Streamline Rental Property Utility Payments

Business Wire | October 25, 2023

Paymentus Holdings Inc. today announced a new integration with MRI Software, a leading provider of real estate software solutions, to expand the utility billing and payment capabilities available to MRI clients. The partnership enables renters to receive, manage, and pay bills from national, regional, and local utility providers currently connected to the Paymentus Instant Payment Network®, or IPN, and features a host of expanded payment options. The Paymentus integration with MRI Property Management X is available for clients using the MRI LivingTM suite of residential property management tools. In the recent Voice of the Resident Report commissioned by MRI, most respondents – which included more than 2,000 U.S. renters across a mix of locations and rental categories – preferred more digital payment options to pay their bills. Paymentus supports more payment methods and payment channels than any other billing and payment platform, including online, mobile, IVR, text, kiosk, point of sale, and agent-assisted payments, as well as popular and flexible payment options such as Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, credit, debit, ACH, digitized cash, crypto, and more, to drive consumer action, adoption, and satisfaction. “We understand consumer bill-pay dynamics better than any other payments solution provider,” said Dushyant Sharma, Founder and CEO of Paymentus. “When we expand payment optionality and remove friction from the process, bills get paid on-time and in-full. For property managers, our integration with MRI Property Management X will connect tenants directly to their utility providers meaning fewer payments for multifamily property managers to manage and fewer delinquencies and service shut-offs to deal with.” “Today’s renters value the flexibility that comes with digital payment options,” said Sean Slack, Vice President of Partner Connect at MRI Software. “As an MRI partner, Paymentus will enable our clients to exceed expectations for multifamily, affordable and student housing renters by offering more ways to pay for utility services, resulting in a more satisfied, engaged community.” About Paymentus Paymentus is a leading provider of cloud-based bill payment technology and solutions for more than 1,900 billers and financial institutions across North America.

myPOS unveils Tap to Pay on iPhone for merchants in the UK

PR Newswire | October 19, 2023

UK-based payments company myPOS is introducing Tap to Pay on iPhone for businesses in the UK. Tap to Pay is available within the myPOS Glass app and allows merchants to accept contactless payments directly on their iPhone, with no additional hardware. "As global smartphone penetration and contactless adoption continue to spread, we want to ensure that even the smallest merchants have the technology to grow their sales," said Rob Hay, CEO of myPOS Payments Ltd. "With Tap to Pay on iPhone and myPOS Glass, business owners can start taking payments from anywhere – in the store or on the go. We are excited to simplify in-person payments by offering a fast and secure experience that increases mobility." Business owners are excited about the new solution as well. "With Tap to Pay on iPhone, I can be mobile. I download the myPOS Glass app and I can immediately accept payments on my own phone anywhere I am. It's easy for my customers and very flexible for me," said myPOS merchant Ahmed Saleh, owner of fast-food restaurant The Best Tasty Meal Corner. Another myPOS client, healthcare practitioner Asif Parpia at Otowax Removal, added: "Don't need hardware anymore; always wanted a secure way of accepting payments through my iPhone, so I am excited about the launch of myPOS Glass on iPhone." myPOS clients with compatible phones – iPhone XS or later – can accept contactless payments by downloading and opening the myPOS Glass app, ringing up the sale and presenting their iPhone to the customer. In return, the shopper needs only to tap a contactless payment method like Apple Pay, another digital wallet or a contactless card. Merchants new to the myPOS platform can start using Tap to Pay on iPhone with myPOS Glass after opening a myPOS account and going through online verification. What's more, by becoming a myPOS client, they will benefit from a free merchant account, a free business card and immediate deposits of all accepted payments at no extra cost. Tap to Pay on iPhone requires iOS 15.5 or later. No additional costs are applied to the merchant and no separate devices are needed. Additionally, all transactions are encrypted and secure. Business and customer payment data is safeguarded by the same technology that keeps Apple Pay private. So when a payment is processed, card numbers are not stored on the device, the myPOS app or on Apple servers. To take advantage, business owners can try out the myPOS Glass Starter plan, which allows merchants to pay only as they get paid. It comes with no upfront commitment, no fixed costs and the ability to cancel at any time.
