Common questions
That is a common UK rent collection method. You can pay by card through PaymentFlux, and your rent recipient still receives a bank transfer. They do not need to accept cards directly.
No. They do not need to take cards themselves. You pay PaymentFlux by card; they receive a bank transfer.
PaymentFlux charges a flat 2.99% fee, shown clearly with the rent amount before you confirm. Your card issuer’s interest, charges and terms may still apply separately.
Once the payment is completed, PaymentFlux sends the rent as a bank transfer. A successful card step alone does not mean the rent payment is complete. Follow status in your account through to confirmation once the bank transfer has been executed. Payments are usually processed to completion within 5 business days.
No. Your rent recipient does not need a PaymentFlux account to receive the rent as a bank transfer.
PaymentFlux does not advise whether using credit is suitable for you. Using a card for rent may mean interest and charges under your card agreement. Review your issuer’s terms and consider whether you can repay the balance. The PaymentFlux fee is shown before you confirm.
