ManageCasa Inc., a company that provides automated property management software for independent landlords, announced an agreement with Stripe to launch a digital payments solution for property management. 

The agreement will allow landords to automate the entire property management business from collecting rents to managing payments and automated bookkeeping. The companies plan to demonstrate the service at the Apartmentalize conference in Denver, according to a company release from ManageCasa. 

"Sending and receiving payments has always been a challenge in our industry, often requiring lots of time and effort on the part of both property managers and tenants to meet in person to get rent and bills paid," Peter Koch, CEO of ManageCasa, said in the press release. "We're thrilled to provide an online solution that will allow payments to change hands securely in just a few clicks."

The service will be initially available in the U.S., however, the companies are working on a service that can work in international markets. Additional features have been added to ManageCasa's account configuration options, including the ability for maintenance or accountants to have access to certain functions.

Fiserv Inc. said it is helping companies automate customer bill payment through mobile wallets through its Mobile Bill Presentment technology, according to a company release. 

The Mobile Bill Presentment technology allows companies to send customer bills to an existing mobile wallet and uses the company's logo and colors. Messages are also sent to customers automatically to remind them to pay bills on time. 

"People are using their mobile wallets to store and access boarding passes, concert tickets, store discounts and loyalty rewards, in addition to using them to pay at major retailers," Rob Houser, senior vice president, product management and strategy and biller solutions at Fiserv, said in the release. "With continued growth in all things digital, people expect information to be one tap away, and this includes access to their bills."
