Radpad and Landlord Station have been acquired by Priority Technology Holdings, a provider of merchant acquiring and commercial payment solutions.
For those who don’t recall, some of us used to pay our rent with Radpad and get 3x on Sapphire Reserve. That mostly ended when Radpad stopped earning 3x with CSR and when they subsequently began limiting payments to verified landlords.
It’s interesting that there’s a heavy focus in the press release on the rent payment angle – Priority Technology seems to be basically a payments company – despite that being merely and ancillary part of the Radpad business model. Sounds like they they feel payments is an integral part of their long term vision.
Hopefully at some point they’ll be useful for paying rent again, but again, at this point the 2.99% fee and no special category coding makes it of little interest being that Plastiq charges just 2.5%. (Some have mentioned the idea of using Apple Pay + Altitude.)

RadPad rent payment seems to be completely dead. Link deleted on the website and onradpad.com/paymyrent directs to the homepage. No announcements whatsoever. Was trying to schedule my rent payment for February 2021.
It would be awesome if Plastiq accepted Apple Pay.
I like to have them as a fall-back option if anything goes wrong with Plastiq
Like no more 3x on CIP? oh wait...
Debit cards are still $4.95. If you have a cashback debit card, it can make sense.
@guest_631127 - Thanks What options for cashback debit card are there presently?
I only know of Discover Cashback debit.
Discover Debit doesn't work on either of these sites for low debit fees.
There are a number of credit union/banks with 1% debit cards. Also, Paypal.
