How it Works

RentWallet makes paying property expenses simple, fast, and stress-free.

No loans. No credit score impact. No impact on your borrowing capacity. Just fast access to funds for approved property costs, with a portion of upcoming rent directed through your property manager until the agreed amount is received.

Step 1: Apply Online

Tell us what you need covered — whether it’s strata fees, upgrades, maintenance, urgent repairs, or other essential property costs.
The application takes just minutes, and there’s no impact on your credit score.

Step 2: Quick Advance

Once approved, RentWallet advances funds based on a portion of your upcoming rent payments.

The approved amount is paid directly to your property manager’s trust account (or the service provider completing the work, such as a tradesperson or strata company) within a few days.

You’ll receive a clear summary showing:

  • The amount advanced,

  • The portion of rent directed to RentWallet, and

  • The service fee agreed upfront.

Step 3: Automatic Rent Direction

Your property manager simply directs a small portion of ongoing rent to RentWallet until the Assigned Rent Amount is reached.
No lump-sum payments, no extra admin, and nothing to track.

  • Typical duration: 6 – 12 months, depending on rent inflows.

  • Fixed service fee: clear, transparent pricing — no interest, no compounding.
