M-Pesa rent payment

Collect rent through M-Pesa. Let Resma do the matching.

Most Kenyan tenants pay rent from their phones. Resma connects to your M-Pesa Paybill so every payment lands against the right tenant and invoice the moment it arrives, with no statement downloads and no matching by hand.

How it works

M-Pesa Rent Collection with Resma

Paybill with account numbers

Tenants pay to your Paybill using their unit or account number. Resma reads the reference and posts the payment to the correct lease.

STK push and pay links

Send a tenant an M-Pesa prompt straight to their phone, or a secure pay link by SMS. They enter their PIN and the payment is recorded.

Automatic reconciliation

Payments are matched every minute. Partial payments, overpayments and payments with a wrong reference are flagged for a quick review.

Instant SMS receipts

The tenant gets a receipt the moment their payment lands, and their balance is always up to date in the tenant portal.

Paste an M-Pesa SMS

Got a payment by Send Money or at the office? Paste the M-Pesa message and Resma fills in the amount, code and date for you.

Arrears follow themselves up

Unpaid balances trigger reminders on schedule, and late-payment penalties apply automatically if you use them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can tenants pay rent with M-Pesa through Resma?

Tenants pay to your M-Pesa Paybill or bank account using their unit or account number as the reference. Resma receives the payment, matches it to the right tenant and invoice, and sends an SMS receipt. You can also send tenants an M-Pesa prompt (STK push) or a secure pay link.

Do I need a new Paybill number to use Resma?

No. Resma works with the M-Pesa Paybill you already use, including bank-issued Paybills. Our team helps you connect it during onboarding.

What happens if a tenant uses the wrong account number?

The payment is still received and shows up in an unmatched list. You assign it to the right tenant in one click and the receipt goes out automatically.
