WALNUT CREEK, CA AND CINCINNATI, OH (PRWEB) March 12, 2012
RentPayment, the leading provider of Electronic Payments-as-a-Service (ePaaS) solutions to the property management industry, and ePremium Insurance, a leading provider of online risk mitigation solutions for the multi-family housing industry, today announced a strategic partnership.
The two companies have developed and launched a software integration between RentPayment’s payment solution and ePremium’s renters insurance platform (IRIS). The partnership will enable RentPayment users to easily enroll in an affordable renter’s insurance policy in less than 2 minutes.
In addition, ePremium’s IRIS software application will be available to RentPayment property management clients at no charge. IRIS provides a suite of policy enrollment and compliance-enforcement tools that enable apartment communities to manage their renters’ insurance programs more efficiently.
“We continue to see a shift in the multi-family market toward renter’s insurance becoming a common and necessary lease requirement. Therefore, it is critical that management companies provide new and existing residents with streamlined enrollment options,” says Chad Scott, President of ePremium. “We are optimistic that this partnership will bring value to RentPayment users nationwide.”
“We are very pleased to partner with a high quality company like ePremium,” said Matt Golis, CEO of YapStone, the parent company of RentPayment. “ePremium shares several characteristics with RentPayment—including its vertical focus on multi-family, its easy-to-use web-based technology, and its robust data reporting and analytics—that make them best-of-breed in our industry and an ideal partner. We are excited to begin offering ePremium renters insurance to our multi-family clients."
New and existing residents at apartment communities utilizing the RentPayment platform are pre-approved for enrollment in the ePremiumRENTERS insurance program. Acceptance into the ePremium program is guaranteed for RentPayment users at fixed premium rates. This guaranteed acceptance along with the enrollment interface will help RentPayment’s property management clients increase renters’ insurance participation throughout their portfolios. Higher participation protects landlords from the risks of resident-caused property damage.
