myRent Alternative for Rent Tracking & Arrears NZ

To keep a clear rent ledger, import a bank transaction CSV and review matches before confirming them, or use a supported Xero bank feed on Standard and higher plans. myRent says it is moving eligible accounts to official CDR bank connections through Akahu. Its 18 June 2026 update names ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac, with Kiwibank expected; it does not say every account has moved. Compare the workflow you already use, including any separate rent collection service.

Starter: NZ$9/month for one dwelling; Standard: NZ$19/month for up to 5 dwellings; Standard+: NZ$29/month for up to 10 dwellings. Monthly prices include GST.

What's a myRent alternative for tracking rent automatically?

Both products support rent reconciliation, but the connection route differs. myRent's published update describes a transition from classic connections to official CDR bank connections for eligible accounts. Its bank-feed guide describes the classic flow; check which connection applies to your account. RentManager supports reviewed CSV imports and supported Xero bank feeds on Standard and higher plans. Direct NZ Open Banking (CDR) feeds are not available in RentManager. Check current provider and plan terms before choosing a workflow.

With RentManager, import a bank CSV, review the preview, then confirm and match transactions to the correct tenancy. Supported Xero bank feeds are available on Standard and higher plans. Direct NZ Open Banking (CDR) feeds are not available. The rent ledger and arrears calculations use the matched transaction history.

Does it handle partial payments and part-weeks correctly?

Rent periods are calculated from the tenancy's actual start date, and payments are allocated first-in-first-out against those periods, so a partial payment shows as exactly that - "PARTIAL $800/$1,600, $800 owed" - rather than being silently absorbed or lost against the wrong week. A reminder only clears once the arrears are genuinely at zero, so a partial payment does not make an overdue rent problem look solved.

What else comes with the rent-tracking side of RentManager?

• Automatic arrears reminders that only fire when there is real arrears, and stop as soon as it is cleared.
• A Tribunal-ready arrears schedule if a dispute ever gets that far, built from the same ledger you already use day to day.
• Plans with clear property limits and fixed monthly prices - see the full pricing comparison in our myRent side-by-side comparison.

If you are considering a move, upload an existing agreement at rentmanager.nz/upload-agreement. RentManager extracts proposed details for you to review and correct before creating a record. Rent history is a separate bank CSV import after account setup; this is not a full myRent account migration.

Common questions

Does RentManager provide a direct NZ bank feed?

No. RentManager does not currently provide direct NZ Open Banking (CDR) feeds. Import a bank CSV and review transactions before matching them to the rent ledger, or use a supported Xero bank feed on Standard or a higher plan. myRent says eligible accounts are moving to Akahu CDR connections, so check your account's current connection before switching.
