Users of rent payment with a credit card service RoomiPay should have received the following e-mail:
Hey there,
I’m Alex, COO of Roomi, and am writing to let you know that we’ve gone ahead an canceled your auto-payments to RoomiPay. As a startup we’re constantly evaluating all of our products and have decided to put RoomiPay on pause for now. Thank you all for your continued support and we will let you know if/when we decide to start this up again!
Please feel free to get in touch with me directly with any questions.
Thanks,
Alex
Make sure you set up another payment method to pay your rent.

No more auto payments, how about a single payment? The roomipay.com seems to be OK.
Is that a legit website?
Refund email issued tonight for payment made on Nov. 3 so looks like they'll be refunding any payments that were made first few days of this month.
yep just got my refund for Nov 1 payment too

Hmm, wonder if my payment made on Nov 1 is going to be delivered before this Thanksgiving turkey of a company calls itself bankrupt . . .
Update: they refunded me at my request
dont pay off your bill until it does.
Did you make an ACH transfer or send a check?
ACH - and it still isn't there (granted it's a banking holiday weekend)
RIP
It was great while it lasted.
I was wondering why I was getting an error message yesterday and today.
Got a payment in on the 3rd so service went down somewhere between Nov. 4 - 7.
More reason to continue to treat Plastiq well instead of trying to minimize fees all the time totally. Let's keep that service going!
+1: RIP to an ill-conceived startup with an unsustainable business model and viva la Plastiq!
VC funds are proping these businesses up. We can enjoy the ride while it lasts.
How the plastiq is different? Same business model, isn't it?
its a totally different company and execution. leadership team is also totally different. you dont have an idiot running the company.
Oh my. I was just doing research on this three days ago while trying to find more ways to meet MS.
good. roomi is about to disintegrate.
I don't use it regularly but I used it 10 days ago, i haven't received any email from them though.
