What Is a YARDI or YARDI 8 Charge on Your Bank Statement?
YARDI or YARDI 8 can identify a property-related payment processed through Yardi or its RentCafe payment infrastructure.
Plain-English explanation
Yardi provides property-management and payment infrastructure, including RentCafe. A statement can therefore show YARDI or YARDI 8 when a property-related payment is processed through that infrastructure. The statement wording may not match the name of a building, leasing office, community, or management company. That difference can make a familiar payment look unfamiliar, particularly where a bank shortens the descriptor or does not show all of the merchant information. Use the full transaction details and the payment's date and amount to identify the entry. Check the account history or confirmation for the property portal used to make the payment. It is useful to compare exact amounts, since a payment that seems close in value may have a different purpose. If a tenant, resident, owner, or payer has more than one property account, each should be checked before deciding the charge is unrelated. A known property-management contact can help confirm whether its payment activity was processed through the platform. Do not respond to an unexpected message claiming to be from a processor solely because its name is on a statement; use contact information from the established property account. If the charge cannot be matched after those checks, the bank or card issuer can explain the transaction details and next steps.
