Paysafe partners with RentMoola to enable US renters to pay rent online with cash

Mar 01, 2021

RentMoola platform’s addition of Paysafecash™ solution allows safe and secure online rent transactions that can be conveniently fulfilled in cash at nearby retail stores 

Houston, Texas. March 1st, 2021 Paysafe, a leading integrated payments platform, today announced its expanded partnership with RentMoola, the North American online rent payment platform. Building on its long-standing payment processing partnership with Paysafe, RentMoola has now added the company’s Paysafecash™ eCash alternative payment method to better serve U.S. tenants whose payment preference is cash.   

Paysafecash™ will allow the RentMoola platform, which has leveraged Paysafe’s payment gateway to process card payments since 2012, to cater to the significant proportion of renters favoring cash. Seventy-five percent of U.S. consumers say they would be concerned if they no longer had access to cash, according to Paysafe’s Q2 2020 research. In particular, the eCash solution will help RentMoola serve tenants with lower access to credit and debit cards, given that 22% of U.S. households are either underbanked or unbanked, according to the Federal Reserve.

Paysafecash™ provides a user-friendly solution to cash-focused renters regardless of their comfort levels with technology. By simply selecting Paysafecash™ as the payment method in the RentMoola platform, tenants generate a barcode that can then either be stored on their mobile device or printed.

Renters then present the barcode to make a cash payment at one of thousands of participating brick-and-mortar retail locations, including major branded convenience stores and pharmacies. A simple search online allows renters to find the nearest location to them.

As the pandemic shifts renter preferences and behavior, the number of tenants paying rent online for the first time will likely continue to rise. Simultaneously, with many U.S. property managers’ front offices shut down due to the pandemic, Paysafecash™ makes it easier for these businesses to collect and reconcile cash payments, as if they were an online payment on their dashboard.

Udo Müller, CEO of paysafecard, the team behind Paysafecash™ at Paysafe, said: “We’re delighted to continue to expand our Paysafecash™ solution’s presence in the U.S. in partnership with RentMoola. Ongoing cash loyalty in the American rental market suggests our eCash product will significantly facilitate payments for cash-focused renters as well as their landlords.”

Karthik Manimozhi, CEO at RentMoola, commented: “This is the time for compassion and collaboration, a time for us to revisit the status quo and find ways to make the current financial system more inclusive. It is up to companies like us to find solutions to improve the lives of our customers.”
