PEMBROKE PINES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / January 26, 2021 / Emphasys Software (Emphasys) announced that it has launched a new tenant payment portal, MyTenantPayments.
"Our MyTenantPayments portal allows us to offer an online solution to our 200+ Public Housing Authority (PHA) customers who process about $800 million in annual tenant receivables," said Larry Huckle, VP of Sales and Marketing at Emphasys Software. Mr. Huckle continued, "We have created an integrated and electronic processing infrastructure inside of the Emphasys software that can handle both card and ACH payments, affording tenants the ability to easily and conveniently remit payments. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen an expressed desire from many of the PHAs we serve to eliminate, as much as possible, the in-person acceptance of paper checks and card payments, for obvious reasons. MyTenantPayments solves these challenges and completely mitigates in-person payments by providing PHAs the ability to collect tenant payments electronically via various payment methods, including ACH (eCheck), credit and debit card. We're confident PHAs will embrace the solution of MyTenantPayments, as accepting payments electronically improves cash flows, eliminates the manual processes of receiving and depositing paper checks, and reduces costs overall."
Emphasys partnered with Usio, a tech-enabled payment solutions provider, leveraging Usio's proprietary PayFac-in-a-BoxTM, an electronic payment platform that integrates seamlessly and securely with Emphasys' Elite software for PHAs.
Commenting on the partnership, Greg Carter, Senior Vice President of Payment Facilitation at Usio, said, "Utilizing our proprietary PayFac-in-a-BoxTM technology, Emphasys will now offer a truly integrated payments functionality that will benefit PHAs, tenants, landlords, vendors, and the network of related entities associated with supporting affordable housing. This is an exciting opportunity for Usio to further penetrate a large and growing vertical market where we are establishing a strong foundation."
