Paynific

Pay your rent by card. Your landlord still gets a bank transfer.

Put your monthly rent on the card you already use. Earn Paynific Points on every payment, and spend them on things that matter here and back home. Your landlord doesn’t sign up or change anything.

Card payments switch on when our FCA-authorised payment partner goes live. Set up your rent now and you’ll be first to pay.

Four steps. Your landlord sees none of them.

  1. Create your account

    Sign in with your email. No password to remember.

  2. Add your rent

    Your rent, due date, property and your landlord's bank details. They're all on your tenancy agreement.

  3. Pay by card

    We charge your card a few days before rent is due, so it never lands late.

  4. Your landlord gets paid

    They receive a normal bank transfer with your usual reference. Nothing changes for them.

One fee. No subscription.

You only pay when you pay rent, and you see the exact amount first.

Any points or cashback from your card issuer are separate and depend on your card’s terms. If you don’t pay off your card balance in full, interest will usually cost more than any rewards.

Rent that gets you closer to home

Earn 1 Paynific Point for every £1 of rent. We’re building rewards with partners chosen for our community, so your biggest monthly bill works in both places you call home.

  • Money home

    Points towards transfer fees when you send money to Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Zimbabwe and beyond.

  • Flights home

    Savings on flights to Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Harare and Johannesburg.

  • A taste of home

    Offers at African food and grocery businesses across the UK.

Partner rewards are being finalised. We’ll only show a reward once it’s confirmed and you can use it.

Your money, handled properly

We never hold your money in our own bank account. When payments go live, card payments and transfers to your landlord will be handled by an FCA-authorised payment partner, and we’ll name them here.

  • Checked before every paymentWe confirm the landlord’s account name matches the bank details you gave us.
  • You stay in controlChange your rent amount, due date or card, or pause payments, from your account.
  • Secure card handlingCard details go straight to our payment partner. Paynific never sees or stores your full card number.

Questions

Does my landlord need to sign up?

No. Your landlord or letting agent receives an ordinary bank transfer into the account they already use, with the reference you choose.

What does it cost?

1.99% of your rent on Visa and Mastercard, 2.49% on American Express. No subscription and no fee for your landlord. You see the exact amount before every payment.

When can I make my first payment?

Card payments switch on when our FCA-authorised payment partner goes live. You can create your account and set up your rent now, and we'll email you the moment you can pay.

Will my card give me points too?

Possibly. Whether your card issuer gives points or cashback on this payment depends on your card's terms, so check them. Paynific Points are separate and come from us.

Is this a loan?

No. Paynific charges your existing card. If you don't pay off your card balance in full, your card provider's interest applies and will usually cost more than any rewards.

Which cards can I use?

UK credit and charge cards from Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

What happens to my landlord's bank details?

They're stored securely and only used to pay your rent. Before any payment, we'll check that the account name matches the details you gave us.
