No more checks. No more stress.

No stamps, no envelopes, no guessing if it arrived. Just a few clicks.
Track every payment
See your full payment history in one place. No more wondering if it went through.
Build your credit
Opt in to have on-time rent payments reported to credit bureaus.
Stay in sync
You and your landlord both see payment status in real time. No surprises.
How it works
- Step 1
Send a request
Submit your info and ask your landlord to set up online payments — Zillow will reach out to them on your behalf.
- Step 2
Accept the invite
Once your landlord is set up, they invite you to complete enrollment. Link your bank account or card to get started.
- Step 3
Pay and track
Make a one-time payment or set up autopay — then watch your payment history build.
Your money is secure
Payments are processed by Stripe and Plaid using bank-grade encryption. Zillow never stores your bank login or card info — your financial details stay with those providers.
What does it cost?

Free. Connect your checking or savings account and pay at no cost.
Debit or credit card
Debit card: $4.95–$9.95 per transaction. Credit card: 2.95% per transaction. Fees may vary by state.
