September Release: Increased security, additional filters and alerts

In this month’s release, we are thrilled to introduce several enhancements across MePay, Bills, Invoices, sensitive change alerts and activity logs. Here’s a summary of the latest additions:

  • Tenants using or setting up MePay will be required to verify their bank account details.
  • You can filter Paid Invoices by selecting from predefined paid date timeframes or search using the custom date range fields.
  • You will be notified with a sensitive alert if changes occur to the portfolio supplier (SUP00001) payment method.
  • You can track changes to your subscription details and SMS top-up information, as well as any changes to your contact payment method in the activity logs.

Tenants required to verify bank account details

As part of increased security measures, tenants using or setting up MePay will now be automatically prompted to verify their bank account details via PropertyMe Tenant mobile app or PropertyMe Client Access.

Tenants who have already activated MePay will have 30 days from 20 September 2023 to verify their bank account details in order to continue using MePay to make payments. They can verify their bank account by using the DEFT reference of a previous MePay transaction or by initiating a new MePay payment.

Tenants who are setting up MePay for the first time will be required to verify that they are authorised to set up payments from the bank account entered.

Tenants can verify their bank account by using the DEFT reference of the $1.00 MePay payment.

Filter Paid Bills and Invoices by paid date range

Last month we introduced the ability to filter paid bills using paid date range. Based on the feedback from our customers, we have introduced the Paid Date column to the Paid Bills tab in the Owner folio page.

By default, you can view recently paid bills within the last 90 days in the Accounts > Paid Bills tab and last 12 months of paid bills in the Owner folio > Paid Bills tab.

Additionally, we have extended this feature to the Paid Invoices tab in Accounts > Invoices and Tenant folio pages. It’s now easier to view when an invoice was paid, by referring to the newly introduced Paid Date column. 

You now have the ability to filter Paid Invoices using the Paid Date filter. You can choose from predefined timeframes such as Today, Last 7 days, Last 14 days, Last 30 days, Last 60 days and more. By default, you can view recently paid invoices within the last 90 days in the Accounts > Paid Invoices tab and last 12 months of paid invoices in the Tenant folio> Paid Invoices tab.

Alternatively, you can search using the custom date range fields.

Sensitive changes alerts for Portfolio Supplier (SUP00001)

When an Admin user modifies the Payment Method(s) for Portfolio Supplier (SUP00001), a warning banner will be prominently displayed for all users. This alert serves as an instant notification, ensuring that everyone is promptly informed about the changes and to help prevent any accidental or unauthorised modifications.
