Yes! Chexy works with any payment system that accepts Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) rent payments, including popular tenant portals like RentCafe, Yardi, Buildium, and Building Stack.
How to Use Chexy with Tenant Portals
Once you complete onboarding with Chexy, you’ll receive unique account details for your "Chexy Wallet," a digital deposit account in your name that functions like a regular bank account.
To set up your rent payment on your landlord’s tenant portal:
Log in to your tenant portal (e.g., RentCafe, Yardi, Buildium, Building Stack).
Select PAD or Bank Account as the delivery method—this is typically listed under automatic withdrawals or direct debit.
Enter your Chexy Wallet banking details (account and transit number).
Complete any verification steps required by your landlord’s platform.
Verification Deposit for Tenant Portals
For added security, some portals require verification as part of the bank account linking process. Chexy fully supports this verification process.
Once received, Chexy will email you the amount so you can enter it into the portal to complete the verification.
If your payment is to Tesla, they send a verification deposit of $0.50 but once it's received, your Chexy bank account details have been verified and you don't need to enter the amount anywhere.
Because of this process, we recommend first-time PAD users sign up at least 6-8 business days before their initial rent payment is due to ensure everything is set up in time.
