Payload
Complimentary Payload for Brokers
AREA understands that consumers want the convenience of paying deposits electronically. Which is why we are excited to introduce Payload, a service that makes electronic deposit payments easy and accessible for all Brokerages and their clients.
And the best part? AREA will cover the subscription costs, so brokers can offer this service at no additional expense. Because at AREA we prioritize making processes smoother and hassle-free for our members is our priority.
AREA brokerages will benefit from:
Automated Payment Processing
Eliminate the need for manual cheques and wire transfers with Payload’s seamless payment automation.
Enhanced Security
Advanced encryption and secure transaction protocols to protect sensitive financial data.
Streamlined Transactions
Simplified processes for Deposit Funds, agent fee invoicing, commission payouts, rental payments, and more.
Versatile Payment Options
Offer clients a wide range of options including EFT, PAD, credit/debit cards, Google Pay and Apple Pay.
Key Benefits of Payload
- No requirement for the brokerage to give out bank account information to the public. Payload ensures the highest level of security and compliance, protecting your transactions and sensitive data from payment fraud and data theft.
- A single payment up to $50,000 can be transferred for the same flat fee.
- The person sending the payment pays the fee, so the payment to the trust amount is never affected at the receipt end.
- Platform integrations currently include DotLoop, Skyslope, Loft47, Docusign, and Moxiworks.
- A branded payment portal can be placed on a brokerage website to provide comfort to the buyer rather than clicking a link.
- The payment portal can be customized to collect whatever data the brokerage deems necessary for the buyer to provide (e.g., MLS#, property address, contract #, etc.).
- Brokerage admin staff have a dashboard to track payments in and out with the information provided by the buyer.
- The payment sender pays the fee based on the deposit amount, so the payment to the trust amount is never affected at the receipt end.
- Ability to reject/void deposits before standard processing time each day.
- Ability to refund deposit money at no charge to the buyer on a collapsed deal with one click.
Each Brokerage can decide if there is additional functionality beyond the electronic fund capture that AREA is providing such as agent billing (brokerage receivables), and commission payouts. Additional functionality can be discussed directly with Payload
