Frequently
asked questions

Still have questions?
No worries we are here to help you.

How does this work with my property management software? How do they communicate?

The good news is there is no need for an integration for our systems to communicate, which saves you money! We operate entirely on automated/schedule reports. We will work with you to set up monthly scheduled reports to be sent to our team.

Is the platform secure?

Yes, the platform is entirely secure and we have the best mechanisms in place to ensure you and your renters’ data is protected at all times.

How do renters receive their monthly Piñata cash?

Each month, your renters receive 20 Piñata Cash for being a renter on the platform. Once we receive your monthly automated report, our team will verify who paid their rent on time (and who didn’t) and reward them an additional 20 Piñata Cash accordingly. There is no work that needs to be done on your end in the monthly rewarding process!

How do my renters pay with rent with Piñata?

Your renters will continue to pay rent the same way they currently are! This process does not change. The way we verify that they pay their rent on time is by receiving those monthly reports.

How does credit building work?

We can report your renters’ on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus to help them build their credit. Your residents can choose the free
option, which reports their on-time rent payments to TransUnion. We also have a premium option, which reports to all three bureaus, which also offers a revenue opportunity for you. Connect with our sales team to learn more!

Do you report delinquent payment as well?

Our primary goal is to help renters increase their credit score and provide a financially stable foundation to build off of. We only report on time rent payments to the credit bureaus, unless you as a management company ask us to report delinquent payments on a case by case basis.

How does Piñata make money?

Piñata has exclusive partnerships with brands and businesses on the platform that offer revenue generating opportunities for the business. This coupled with other in app purchase opportunities allow Piñata to offer the platform at little cost to the management company!
