When and how do I pay?

When you pay, every payment method we accept including Alipay, WeChat Pay, Klarna and Clearpay, and what happens next.

Written by Joe Wigoder

You only pay once your application is approved. There's no charge to apply.

When to pay

As soon as you're approved, you can pay from your approval email or your dashboard. Your landlord won't issue the tenancy agreement until your guarantee is in place, so paying promptly helps you secure your home.

Can I pay with Alipay or WeChat Pay?

Yes. Alipay and WeChat Pay are both accepted at checkout, as well as UnionPay cards.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can split your payment with Klarna or Clearpay (Afterpay) at checkout. These are subject to Klarna's or Clearpay's own eligibility checks, and you'll see at checkout whether they're available to you.

All payment methods

We accept a wide range of payment methods:

  • Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay and Cartes Bancaires

  • Digital wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Amazon Pay, Revolut Pay and Link

  • Pay later: Klarna and Clearpay (Afterpay)

  • Bank payments: Pay by Bank, Bancontact, iDEAL and EPS

  • China: Alipay and WeChat Pay

  • Other countries: Blik, Bizum, Pix, UPI, MB Way, Satispay, Kakao Pay, Naver Pay and KR Card

Not every method is available to every customer. The options you see depend on your region, currency and device, and checkout will show you exactly which ones you can use.

Is it secure?

Yes. All payments are processed by Stripe, one of the world's leading payment providers. Businesses using Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in payments in 2025, and it's trusted by millions of companies worldwide, from start-ups to some of the biggest brands.

Stripe is certified to the highest level of payment security in the industry (PCI DSS Level 1). Your card and payment details are entered directly with Stripe, so Rentmigo never sees or stores them.

You can read more about how Stripe keeps payments secure on Stripe's security page, and how they handle your data in Stripe's privacy policy.

What happens after I pay?

Once all tenants on the tenancy have paid, the Rent Guarantee Agreement is sent out automatically for you, your landlord or letting agent, and Rentmigo to sign. Your guarantee certificate is issued once everyone has signed.
