Property Vista announced the launch of Pay-by-Bank rent payments, a new way for property managers and renters to move money securely, instantly, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
Built in partnership with Dream Payments and powered by the Dream Bill Pay Network, the new capability connects directly to Canada’s banking system, allowing tenants to pay rent straight from their bank accounts while property managers receive funds automatically reconciled in Property Vista’s platform.
Rent collection has long been one of the most time-consuming and expensive parts of property management. Between card fees, manual reconciliation, and late payments, property teams often spend hours managing transactions that should take seconds. Property Vista’s Pay-by-Bank integration changes that.
With this new feature, property managers can now:
Since launching this summer, more than 12,000 tenants across Canada have paid rent through Pay-by-Bank, representing over $200 million in annualized payment volume.
“Rent collection shouldn’t slow property teams down,” said Leonard Drimmer, CEO of Property Vista. “With Pay-by-Bank, funds move faster, fees drop dramatically, and renters enjoy a seamless experience directly from their own banks. It’s a win for everyone.”
For residents, automation isn’t just a back-office win, it’s a better daily living experience. When payments, renewals, and requests run through smart, automated workflows, life becomes simpler, faster, and more predictable.
The clearest example is rent. With “set it and forget it” autopay, it’s on time every time. No more running checks to the office, hunting for the drop box, or worrying about late fees. What used to be a monthly chore disappears into the background.
Automation also streamlines communication and service. Instant confirmations, real-time updates, and faster routing mean fewer delays, less stress, and quick resolutions instead of long waits.
The result: a renter experience built on convenience, certainty, and control - leading to happier residents who stay longer and feel more at home in your community.
The Dream Bill Pay Network was developed by Dream Payments in collaboration with Scotiabank to modernize how businesses collect payments through bank-integrated infrastructure.
Every payment made through Property Vista’s Pay-by-Bank feature is routed through Scotiabank-provisioned trust accounts, ensuring full transparency and compliance with Canadian financial regulations.
“Property Vista is setting a new standard for digital rent collection,” said Brent Ho-Young, CEO of Dream Payments. “By embedding Pay-by-Bank directly into their workflows, they’re helping property managers modernize payments while giving renters a trusted, frictionless experience.”
Pay-by-Bank is the latest step in Property Vista’s ongoing mission to simplify property management through automation, integration, and intelligence. From CRM and leasing to communications and resident engagement, Property Vista gives operators a single platform to manage every stage of the resident journey.
“This launch reflects what our clients have been asking for - faster rent collection, fewer fees, and a better resident experience,” added Drimmer. “We’re proud to deliver it through trusted partnerships and leading financial technology.”
