On your home screen, tap 'Connect bank account' and select the account where you receive rent into. See image below for for example.

Once you've selected your bank you'll be taken to your banking app to authorise access to August. This gives August access to transaction dates, amounts, and payment references, just enough to recognise rent payments.

Add your tenancy details to start tracking rent. You can create a tenancy with or without an end date, tenancies without end dates roll over monthly automatically.

Key details to add:

Adding the tenant's name helps August match payments to the correct tenancy. If August isn't sure about a payment, it'll ask you to confirm.

Properties > Property profile > Tenancies > Create tenancy

Inviting tenants (Optional)

August tracks rent automatically whether tenants are invited or not. Connect your bank and you'll get instant notifications when any payment lands, standing order, bank transfer, anything.

When tenants use the app they receive reminders before rent is due and nudges when it's late, making on-time payments 75% more likely. They can also see their payment history in the app. They continue paying by bank transfer as normal; August just helps them remember.

Once you've connected your bank and added your tenancies, August starts working immediately. Every time rent arrives in your account, you'll get an instant notification.

Open the Finances section and tap the Rent tab. You'll see all rent payments due this month. In this example, August has already spotted the payment and marked it as paid. Tap into each rent payment period payment to see:

Finances > Rent > Rent payment period

View past, present, and future rent, August lets you look ahead to upcoming rent payments or review your payment history from previous months. Use the date filter at the top to jump to any month you need.

You can instantly see which tenants have paid on time, who's running late, and what's due soon across all your properties. Every rent payment is logged with the exact date received, amount paid, and bank transaction reference, so you have a complete payment history at your fingertips.

August shows you precisely what's still owed, including any partial payments tenants have made. You can view rent for a single property or see your entire portfolio together. For late payments, you'll see exactly how many days rent is overdue, making it easy to spot tenants with recurring payment issues.

Need proof of rental income for your accountant or tax return? August makes it simple.

Go to the Finances section and tap Rent. At the top right, you'll see an export button. Tap it and choose your date range, whether that's the current tax year, a specific month, or a custom period.

August generates a clean Excel statement showing all rent payments received during that period. Each statement includes property addresses, payment dates, and amounts, everything you need for your records or to share with your accountant.

You can email the statement directly from the app or save it to your phone to upload elsewhere.

August works directly with your bank using a technology called Open banking. This allows you to securely link the account where you receive rent. This lets August:

Your security guaranteed:

Explained simply - Imagine August has a window view into your account, it can only see in, never touch. The moment rent arrives, we see that match it to the right tenancy using the payment reference, amount, date, and timing. All automatic. Zero manual work.
