RentPayment Review

RentPayment appears to be marketed through a combination of telemarketing and inside sales agents. At this time, YapStone does not appear to employ independent sales agents to sell RentPayment. We are also unable to locate any complaints about the company’s sales team at this time. RentPayment’s website does not appear to engage in any deceptive advertising tactics, but we have located some complaints from customers expressing confusion about fee structure and how to schedule payments through the service, which occasionally led to overcharges. These customers appear to be renters rather than property managers, so it is unlikely that these difficulties will apply to merchants.

As of this update, the standard RentPayment contract terms are unclear. The service is likely reselling Chase Paymentech contracts, but this is unverified at this time. We are unable to locate any RentPayment complaints that specifically mention the company’s contract terms at this time, indicating that most of the company’s clients are satisfied with their rates and fees. If you have any knowledge of the standard RentPayment merchant agreement or per-transaction pricing, please leave that information in the comment section of this review.

As of this update, we are unable to locate any complaints about RentPayment or its provider, YapStone, in which merchants accuse either entity of being a ripoff or a scam. Most available RentPayment complaints have been posted by renters, who express confusion over the company’s policies or irritation with paying fees in order to use a credit card to pay their rent. These issues should not affect rental industry merchants beyond the possibility that their tenants might be dissatisfied with the service. Additionally, we have located numerous complaints by current and former YapStone employees who describe a taxing work schedule and low workplace morale. Like the renter complaints, these issues may only indirectly affect merchants, as unhappy employees tend to provide subpar service. Overall, though, RentPayment and YapStone have fairly low complaint rates and do not appear to provide poor service to merchants.

Note: We have adjusted this company’s BBB rating according to our own standards. To better understand why we adjust BBB ratings, please see our Rating Criteria.

RentPayment is not an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau. As of this review, the company holds an “A+” rating with the BBB and has had 26 complaints filed against it in the last 36 months. Of the complaints, two were filed regarding an advertising and sales issue, eight were in relation to problems with products or services, and the remaining 16 stemmed from billing and collection disputes. RentPayment successfully resolved 24 of the 26 complaints, but two complainants report being dissatisfied with the company’s response despite what the BBB determines was a good-faith effort by RentPayment. Given the information available, we have slightly adjusted the BBB’s rating to an “A-.”
