The enhancements include same-day and next-day card settlement, pay by link, and integrated payment terminals, all delivered natively within Yardi Voyager®. According to the company, the new capabilities address longstanding concerns surrounding settlement timing, payment acceptance, and operational complexity, while helping property managers streamline payment collection, reconciliation, and tenant payment experiences without requiring additional logins or third-party integrations.
Announcement Overview

By integrating all three capabilities directly into Yardi Voyager®, property managers can accept and process payments within a single platform while simplifying reconciliation processes.

Same-Day and Next-Day Card Settlement
One of the newly introduced capabilities is same-day and next-day card settlement, designed to align card payment settlement timelines more closely with electronic funds transfer (EFT) processing.
According to Yardi, settlement timing has historically been one of the most significant reasons property managers have hesitated to accept card payments. The new capability directly addresses that concern by enabling card payments to settle on the same timeline as EFT transactions.
Key benefits include:
- Same-day or next-day fund availability
- Faster access to collected payments
- Improved cash flow visibility
- Enhanced deposit reconciliation processes
- Reduced settlement delays
The company stated that funds are deposited into property managers’ accounts on the same day or the following day, helping streamline payment operations while reducing administrative friction associated with payment tracking and reconciliation.
Pay by Link
Yardi has also introduced pay by link, providing property managers with an additional method for collecting tenant payments.
The feature allows property managers to generate and distribute payment links through:
- QR codes
Using the payment link, tenants can complete transactions without needing to log into a resident portal.
According to the company, the capability is particularly well suited for:
- One-time payments
- Move-in transactions
- Occasional charges
- Convenience-based payment collection
The feature is designed to provide greater payment flexibility while reducing the number of steps required for tenants to complete a transaction.
By eliminating the requirement for portal access, property managers can simplify payment collection for situations where a traditional resident portal workflow may not be necessary.
Payment Terminals
The third enhancement introduces integrated payment terminals to leasing offices.
The capability enables tap-to-pay functionality while maintaining direct integration with Yardi’s payment processing infrastructure.
According to Yardi, payment terminals are fully integrated into the Voyager environment, allowing transactions to be automatically posted and reconciled alongside other Yardi Payment Processing activities.
Key capabilities include:
- Tap-to-pay payment acceptance
- Integrated transaction processing
- Automatic posting of payments
- Automated reconciliation workflows
- Unified payment records
The company stated that this integration eliminates the need for separate reconciliation processes that can occur when standalone payment systems are used.
For leasing teams and onsite staff, the capability provides an additional method for accepting payments while maintaining operational consistency across payment channels.
Native Yardi Voyager Integration
Yardi emphasized that all three new payment processing capabilities are delivered natively within Yardi Voyager®.
The company stated that users can access the new functionality without requiring:
- Additional logins
- Third-party payment platforms
- External integrations
- Separate reconciliation systems
By maintaining all payment processing activities within Voyager, property management teams can operate through a centralized workflow for payment acceptance, transaction management, posting, and reconciliation.
The native integration approach is intended to simplify adoption while reducing operational complexity for Canadian property managers.
According to Yardi, maintaining payment functionality within the existing Voyager environment enables clients to implement new payment capabilities without introducing additional systems into their day-to-day operations.
Addressing Card Payment Adoption Barriers
Yardi stated that the latest enhancements were developed in response to the most common concerns expressed by Canadian property managers regarding card payment acceptance.
Historically, organizations have identified several challenges associated with card payments, including:
- Settlement timing concerns
- Operational complexity
- Reconciliation requirements
- Workflow inefficiencies
The company noted that same-day and next-day settlement directly addresses concerns surrounding the speed at which card payment funds become available.
At the same time, pay by link and integrated payment terminals expand payment collection options while maintaining centralized processing and reporting capabilities.
Together, the three enhancements are intended to provide a more comprehensive payment ecosystem for Canadian property management operations.
Company Commentary
Peter Altobelli, President, Yardi Canada Ltd., said:
“Canadian property managers have been clear about the barrier to card adoption: settlement timing.”
“What we’re seeing across Canada is that expectation has only grown.”
“Same-day and next-day settlement addresses that directly and pay by link and payment terminals round out what clients have been asking for.”
“These aren’t incremental additions. They reflect where Canadian operators are and what they need to run efficiently.”
According to Yardi, the new capabilities reflect evolving operational requirements within the Canadian property management sector and are intended to support more efficient payment processing workflows.
