Zego: Simplifying Rent Payments

With social distancing and stay-at-home orders in effect across the country, property management companies turn to Zego’s resident engagement platform to safely and securely go above and beyond for their residents.

A core component of resident interactions is the collection of rent and the Zego Pay product aligns the health and well-being of both residents and staff through a digital payment solution. Zego’s 100% digital payment methodology has enabled operators to drive resident adoption by an additional 30% to 80% in a single month.

In addition to simplifying payments, Zego Engage and Zego Smart support a full spectrum of resident engagement during the pandemic. Zego Engage allows property managers to share information quickly and easily so their communities stay safe as situations unfold, while Zego Smart supports efforts like no-touch unit showings.
