Instant Tenant Card Transactions (Instant Credit or Debit Card Payments)

Tenant payment options includes instant transactions made with a debit or credit card. If you allow online payments via the Tenant Portal and your account is enabled to accept debit and credit card payments from tenants, your residents will have the option to make an instant payment in their Tenant Portal with a credit or debit card. 

Processing an Instant Card (Debit/CC) Transaction 

The instant card debit feature will initiate a request to CSG Forte, using the card information that was selected, and will post the processing transaction to the tenant ledger instantly.

If your tenant wants to make an instant payment, please advise them on the following instructions.

In the Tenant Portal:

1. Click Payments
2. Under Make Instant Payment, select Pay Now
   1. Your tenant can also choose to Schedule One-Time Payment which allows them to pick a date in the future for the transaction to take place. An instant payment happens immediately.
