MRI Software has partnered with GoCardless to launch MRI Payment Connector in the UK residential property market.
The system is designed to help landlords and property managers make payments easier for tenants and cut down on admin.
Tenants can use one secure interface to pay rent and bills, with GoCardless providing direct debit for regular payments and instant bank pay for one-off transactions.
The integration also uses artificial intelligence (AI) in Success+ to recover failed payments.
Landlords and property managers can automate the payment process through MRI’s Qube PM, Horizon, and Engage platforms.
The service covers mandate setup, instant payments, retries, cancellations, refunds, reconciliation, and reporting.
This aims to reduce the need for card networks and lower transaction costs.
Sean Slack, global vice president of partnerships at MRI Software, said: “MRI Payment Connector is a game-changer for our clients in the UK.
“By bringing GoCardless’ proven payment technology directly into our solutions, we’re providing property professionals and finance teams with the tools to manage payments with confidence, speed, and accuracy.
“This is about more than automation – with AI-powered payment recovery built in, the solution helps finance teams boost successful collections and spend less time managing exceptions.”
Tom Metcalfe, director, global partnerships at GoCardless, said: “GoCardless is a long-standing partner in the property sector, and we are excited to bring our expertise and proven solutions to MRI customers.
“This partnership makes it easy for property professionals to offer a flexible, automated payment experience for their tenants for all types of property payments.
“It’s a huge benefit for both landlords and tenants – less friction for payers and more predictable revenue for businesses.”
