On this page
At Rental Rewards, we know that giving tenants flexible payment options helps agents get paid faster and on time. That's why we've added Alipay+ and UnionPay to our accepted payment methods.
With the addition of Alipay+ and UnionPay, tenants can now pay using trusted and widely used Asian payment methods, making it easier for them to pay and easier for you to get paid.
What is Alipay+?
Alipay+ is now part of Rental Rewards' payment options, giving tenants a trusted way to pay using their preferred mobile wallet. With Alipay+, tenants can make payments seamlessly, while Rental Rewards agents receive settlements locally, without the need for extra integrations or foreign currency accounts.
Through Alipay+, Rental Rewards makes it simple for tenants to pay from anywhere using familiar QR-based or in-app payment experiences, all fully integrated with our existing Rental Rewards platform.
What is UnionPay?
UnionPay is a major international card payment network and is widely used by Chinese consumers for both domestic and international spending.
With UnionPay, Rental Rewards connects you to a global cardholder base, helping ensure tenants can pay the way they trust and agents get paid on time.
Who benefits most?
Real estate agents and property managers supporting overseas tenants benefit from familiar, trusted payment options that make rent easier and more convenient. International tenants enjoy seamless cross-border payments, creating a smoother, more efficient experience for everyone.

How do Alipay+ and UnionPay expand your reach?

These payment options make it easier for tenants, such as students, overseas workers, and travellers to pay rent on time, reducing friction and delays.
