How Payments Work
Payment Methods
Cozy allows renters to make payments with their debit or credit card, or by sending ACH payments directly from their checking account. Our payments partner securely handles all of our processing, sending renter’s payments right to their landlord’s checking account. We don’t collect or hold funds.
ACH Payments
No transaction fees.
Renters need to verify their bank account, which usually takes 2 days.
Payments are deposited in about 5 business days after the send date.
If Express Payouts are enabled, payments will deposit in 3 business days.
Card Payments
2.75% transaction fee, paid by renters.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit cards.
Renters can add cards and make payments immediately.
Payments are deposited in about 2 business days after the send date.
Payment Statuses

The payment is sending. It is either being collected from the renter or deposited into the landlord’s account. |

The renter’s payment has successfully been deposited into the landlord’s bank account. |

Payments can fail for a variety of reasons, but it’s most commonly due to insufficient funds. |
Payment Processing Times*
Payments can take 2–5 business days to reach the receiving account, depending on the renter’s payment method, and whether or not the landlord has Express Payouts enabled.
