Payment Methods
There are 3 different payment methods: credit/debit card, bank transfer and MobilePay.
Credit or debit card
Credit or debit card payments are made via the booking system (please see the Booking Manual for the necessary steps).
Usually, the best and cheapest way for you to pay is via credit card in our online system. Once you have moved in, payments can only be made within 14 days of the next payment deadline. You can read more about paying with debit/credit card here.
Paying by card is easiest – but some credit cards will incur extra charges The charges for cards are automatically added to the amount you have selected to pay to the Housing Foundation whenever you are using the online payment option. The amount paid to the payment service provider will not appear in your Account Status page on your flow, as it is not paid to the Housing Foundation – it will only appear in your credit card statement.
Saving costs: Online payment versus bank transfer
When paying via bank transfer, we charge a fee for “reception of a payment via bank transfer”.
Therefore, in most cases the cheapest way for you to make a payment is by paying online in your workflow with a credit card. However, it depends on how much you are paying – in some cases it will actually be cheaper for you to make a bank transfer (please see the following image).
In order for you to avoid paying any fees when we are returning your deposit, it is important that your initial payment covers at least the deposit. In this case we can return your deposit rather swiftly (to the credit/debit card account); otherwise we have to return it via bank transfer, which takes longer and involves a fee. Read more about deposit returns here.
Bank Transfer
If you pay via bank transfer, the Housing Foundation charges a fee. You must remember to add this fee to your payment. You can find the fee list here
To make an international bank transfer, you need to indicate our SWIFT code and IBAN number, and name the Housing Foundation as the beneficiary. You must also provide your tenant ID, otherwise we cannot trace the payment to you and confirm the receipt.
