When CasaPay pays you —
regardless of student
Student accommodation has unique pressures that generic property tools were never designed for.
80–90% of beds must be let between August and September. Every day of delay is revenue at risk. Slow screening and guarantor checks create bottlenecks right when volume peaks.
50–60% of your tenants have no UK credit history, no UK guarantor, and can’t pass traditional referencing. You’re forced to accept them unscreened or turn away revenue.
£8K–18K per year per property in DPS compliance costs. 30% of tenancies end in deposit disputes. Multiply that across thousands of beds and the admin overhead is enormous.
You’re paying separately for HomeLet (3–6%), Canopy (£3–40/ref), DPS registration, Stripe/GoCardless fees, and a debt collector. Five invoices, five logins, five contracts — adding up to 4.9–15% of annual rent.
Four products, one platform. Every tool a student accommodation operator needs — built to handle intake-cycle volumes.
Payments
Card, bank, and open banking. Per-tenant reconciliation so you know exactly who paid across all properties. Smart fallback maximises collection rates.
Screening
Cash flow analysis, passport verification, and 15+ check scoring. Screen international students who would fail every traditional reference provider.
Guarantee
CasaPay guarantees rent to you. No DPS registration, no deposit disputes, no compliance overhead. Protect against international no-shows and mid-year departures.
Invoicing
Zero-integration email gateway connects to Kinetic, StarRez, Tribe, or any PMS. Forward invoices to CasaPay and we handle collection automatically.
One contract, one login, one invoice. See how CasaPay compares to the traditional PBSA toolkit.
