Payment Facilitation Solutions For Property Management Platforms

By Wayne Akey on Sep 20, 2019 7:32:00 AM

This ability to onboard clients without having the user apply for a traditional merchant account [that can take days and require supporting documentation like bank statements and tax returns] offers a friction-free onboarding experience.

Payment Facilitation at its core offers instant onboarding of platform users. If that is not an absolute necessity there are alternative that will better meet needs. See Payment Processing Partnerships.

It took a long time and a lot of work to get to the point where your business generates that amount of reliable predictable income.
