No. We charge a fee to make the payment in the office to increase the amount of online payments

Harold G West it was a decision from ownership to increase online payment penetration. We charge $35 for any payments made in office except move in monies.

I have auto invoices through QuickBooks, so many of them pay free with that doing ACH. I had thought of requiring all payments to be online or deposited at my bank, but I have a handicapped guy that doesn't get out much and doesn't have much for technology either.

The first comment in this thread hits the nail on the head. We recommend our clients charge a fee in office rather than online to increase the number of payments made through the resident portal. In this way our clients not only reduce time dealing with paper but reduce fraud - which is significantly higher with checks and money orders.
