Three flexible ways to pay rent.

DirectPay – better than trustless
DirectPay is PropertyMe’s modern, alternative to ‘trustless’ rental payment option, built on Australia’s New Payments Platform (NPP).
Tenants pay rent using PayTo or PayID, and the payment is handled automatically from receipting and reconciliation through to owner and supplier payments. It features automatic daily disbursements, without Property Managers needing to lift a finger!
Why agencies choose DirectPay:
- Faster rental payments with reduced bank delays
- Automatic daily disbursements for owners
- No manual receipting or reconciliation
- Full visibility of every transaction inside PropertyMe
- Trust-level security without relying on a traditional trust account flow
- No agency trust account for processing payments
DirectPay is ideal for agencies focused on speed, automation and improved cash flow for landlords.
ClassicPay – Traditional trust accounting, delivered faster
ClassicPay follows a familiar trust account payment structure with the added benefit of faster processing through the New Payments Platform.
Funds continue to move through a trust account structure, but with faster delivery than legacy bank file processes.
ClassicPay is suited to agencies that:
- Prefer a familiar trust account payment structure
- Want improved payment speed without changing operational models
- Need a reliable, cost-effective alternative to instant payment solutions
ClassicPay modernises traditional rent processing while maintaining the controls many agencies rely on.
Direct Debit (legacy) – Secure. Transparent. Free.
Direct Debit allows tenants to pay rent using bank account debit, processed through a traditional direct debit framework, all self-administered within the PropertyMe app. It is a legacy payment platform coming to its end of life.
Payments show up right away in PropertyMe as pending so Property Managers aren’t left guessing while the funds clear through normal banking timelines.
Why agencies choose Direct Debit:
- Free for agencies, landlords and tenants
- Payments show up straight away in PropertyMe, marked as pending
- Clear visibility while funds move through standard bank clearing
- A familiar, no-fuss option for tenants who prefer direct debit
Direct Debit is a reliable, well-understood payment method, backed by Macquarie Bank and suited to agencies supporting a range of tenant payment preferences.

Built into PropertyMe.
Backed by bank-grade security.
MePay isn’t a third-party add-on or external payment tool. It’s native to the PropertyMe platform, meaning payment data flows directly into the right ledgers, reports and owner statements without duplication or manual handling.
Tenants self-administer their details via the PropertyMe app and can select regular or once-off payments.
