Life Would Be Great If...
Each and every month tenant rents were automatically transferred to your checking account.
Just think:
You would eliminate the need to print invoices and rent envelopes and distribute them to tenants.
You would eliminate time spent collecting and depositing checks.
Checks would not be "lost in the mail."
You would eliminate calls or visits to tenants to learn why their rent is late.
Checks would not pile up in your mailbox because you are out of town.
Your tenants would not need to remember to pay rent on time, write checks and deliver them to you.

ClearNow is the easiest way to collect rent from tenants.
Rents are automatically withdrawn from tenant bank accounts and directly deposited into your property's checking account. Direct rent deposits are automatic, electronic rent payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment network. The ACH network is the most widely used, bank-based electronic funds transfer network in the United States. It is the payment network that is used to transmit payroll for millions of employees through direct deposit. The ACH network is safe, reliable and inexpensive.
There is no guarantee tenants will have sufficient funds to cover their rent. However, with direct rent deposits, you will know of insufficient funds quickly - far sooner than with paper checks.
ClearNow starts at $14.95/month for the first tenant. Each subsequent tenant is just an additional $2.00/month. There is no cost to your tenants.
