International Bancard’s Property Payments platform enables convenient payment options for tenants and easy-to-use property management tools for owners

Clawson, Mich., April 01, 2015- International Bancard today announced an agreement with MasterCard to promote the acceptance of electronic payments for rent payments and other property-related items. As part of this agreement, MasterCard will become the preferred payments network accepted by International Bancard for its Property Payments digital platform, PropertyPayments.com.

“Electronic payments are the standard today in virtually every industry except real estate. International Bancard and MasterCard have come together to change that, bringing benefits to tenants and property managers,” said David Iafrate, International Bancard CEO. “Through our Property Payments solution, property owners and managers can meet the growing tenant demand for the convenience of paying rent and other property-related expenses with a credit, debit, commercial or prepaid card, whether one-time or recurring payments. Working directly with a network like MasterCard allows us to leverage their knowledge of how other industries have gained material improvements in efficiency, security, customer spend, and earnings by adopting electronic payment options.”

International Bancard offers property managers and owners three ways to leverage the payment solution to accept rent payments online:

Integrating the Property Payments platform into a property manager’s existing website
Enabling the payment module within third-party property management software to connect to International Bancard’s payment gateway
Using the Property Payments platform as a rent payment acceptance solution as well as a comprehensive property management tool

“We are always looking for ways to help consumers and businesses realize the benefits of electronic payments and the value of payment acceptance,” said Valerie Miller, Vice President of Acquirer Relations for MasterCard. “Combining our efforts with International Bancard will help the real estate market take advantage of the added convenience, increased efficiency and security that electronic payments bring.”
