PayNearMe
Overview
PayNearMe (founded 2009) is a cash payment network that enables self-storage tenants to pay rent in cash at over 17,000 retail locations including 7-Eleven, ACE Cash Express, and Family Dollar — without the facility ever handling cash. The process works via a barcode-based 'PaySlip' that tenants receive by text or print, which they present at the retail counter. Payments are authorized in real-time and automatically reconciled back to the storage management software. PayNearMe is also used by OpenTech Alliance INSOMNIAC kiosk operators to enable cash payments for facilities without a physical bill acceptor. The platform additionally supports ACH and debit card payments. PayNearMe is particularly valuable in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania where cash acceptance laws apply to self-storage tenants.
