Connect with your tenants to receive payments automatically every month. Our secure payments processing app allows you to set it and forget it, giving you more time for the things that matter.
Sometimes tenants need a little incentive to pay rent on time. We’ll report good and bad payments to the credit bureaus to help incentivize on-time payments.
Welcome to Canada’s first FREE rent collection platform. Collect monthly rent from up to 3 tenants, completely free of charge, for as long as you need.
You will receive funds in your account within 4-5 business days of the transaction – faster than most banks clear cheques!
Collect rental payments online for all your leases – the first 3 tenants are free for as long as you need.
Tenants can build credit by paying rent on time, while we can also report NSFs to credit bureaus to incentivize payment.
No need to remind tenants to pay as we send automated reminders.
No more fumbling with cheques at the teller’s kiosk, everything occurs online and within 4-5 business days.
You will no longer need to go to the bank on the 1st of the month to deposit cheques. Get back more time for what’s important to you!
We will notify you of successful payments and failures due to NSFs so you can manage your tenants accordingly.
Sometimes things happen – delay, skip, or cancel the next month’s rent collection if your tenant requests a delay.
Enter your property info or select one of your existing units.
Provide details on important dates in your lease, including the date you want to begin collecting rent, and term of the lease.

We will notify both you and the tenant of a missed payment. We suggest landlords reach out to tenants who missed a rent payment to ensure they get paid. If the tenant does not pay rent, then we suggest the landlord follow the appropriate procedures to mediate and / or evict per the appropriate legal guidelines in the dwelling’s jurisdiction
Note: if you are signed up for the Rent Guarantee, SingleKey will help mediate and evict delinquent tenants working with our paralegal partners.
Typically, it takes 4-5 business days for the payment to be completed. In most cases, it should be complete within 24 hours. Note that if payment date falls on weekends or holidays, the rent collection process will begin the next business day.

When setting up your rent collection, you will invite your tenant(s) via email to accept the Rent Collection terms and to connect their bank account.
We want to help tenants improve their credit scores over time. In order to do this, all payments managed by our platform will be reported to the credit bureaus, including on-time, late, and non-payments. Payments made on-time will help improve the score, while missed payments will reduce the score.
Note that SingleKey does NOT collect and store your bank login credentials. We only store your bank account number in order to determine where to deposit your rent payments. We are partnered with a leading Canadian payment provider to facilitate rent payment collection. The security of your information is very important for us and our partners. We employ the latest data encryption and security protocols to keep your information safe.
