How money flows

Tenant pays. Proplo pays the bills. You stay in control.

A single path from rent to every levy, rate, and service account — running on the bank account you already use, with your approval in the middle.

1
Tenant pays

One invoice, one reference

Tenants receive a Proplo invoice and pay by EFT into the bank account you already use, with a reference Proplo matches automatically.

2
Proplo pays the bills

Approved payments to body corp & council

AI reads incoming levy, rates, and utility invoices. Once you approve, Proplo tells your bank to pay each one with the reference they recognise.

3
You stay in control

Your money never leaves your bank

Funds sit in your own bank account throughout. Proplo sends only the payments you've approved — every transaction visible in your bank statement and Proplo's audit trail.

Proplo trust account

In progress

A Proplo-held wallet, for landlords who'd rather not connect a bank.

Today, Proplo pays your bills through the bank account you already control. We're building a Proplo trust account — a separate, protected account run under South African financial rules that lets us hold rent and pay your bills directly on your behalf. Nothing is paid without your say-so.

When the trust account is live, every property will have a single shared balance backing it: rent in, levies/rates/utilities out, the rest withdrawable to your bank.

  • Real-time balance

    See incoming rent, upcoming bill payments, and withdrawable cash live, with a clean audit trail per property.

  • One-click withdrawals

    Push the surplus to any registered bank account, with email confirmation and next-business-day clearing.

  • Shortfall protection

    If rent hasn't cleared by the time a levy is due, Proplo flags it so nothing bounces.

  • Audit trail by default

    Every deposit, payment, and withdrawal is logged against the property for clean year-end reporting.

Available today: bill payments through your own bank account →

AI-Powered

AI reads the invoices. You review & approve.

You set up a Gmail forwarding rule once — Proplo emails you a ready-to-import filter file. From then on, every body corporate and council invoice routes to Proplo, where AI extracts amounts, due dates, and line items from the email body or PDF attachments. We never log into your email — you just forward the bill.

  • You own the forward

    Gmail filters live in your inbox under your control. Pause, edit, or remove them anytime — Proplo never has direct mailbox access.

  • Smart invoice extraction

    AI extracts totals, due dates, and line items like levies, water, electricity, and insurance.

  • PDF & email support

    Whether the invoice is in the email body or a PDF attachment, Proplo handles the capture.

  • Automatic categorisation

    Each line item is classified automatically so your books stay organised.

  • Manual approval stays with you

    AI handles the admin. Nothing is paid or sent without your explicit sign-off.

Tenant screening

Screen tenants before you hand over the keys

Invite an applicant by email. They give consent and submit their details, income, and documents — then Proplo runs the checks and gives you a clear picture to decide on.

Simple application link

Send a secure link — applicants apply without creating an account, verified by a one-time code to their email.

Credit, ID & affordability checks

Run credit reports, ID verification, and affordability assessments through Datanamix, which covers South African bureaus including XDS, TransUnion, and Experian.

Consent captured & logged

Applicants sign a POPIA and National Credit Act consent before any check runs — recorded with a timestamped, tamper-evident audit trail.

Handled securely

ID numbers are encrypted at rest and supporting documents are stored securely against the application.

From the founder

Why Proplo exists

I'm a South African landlord. Every month, body corporate invoices arrived between the 22nd and the 26th. I'd wait — usually a few evenings — until I had time to sit down, work through the line items, and only then could I invoice my tenant.

He'd get his invoice on a different day each month. That made his payment date unpredictable, which made my own payment dates unpredictable. Then the council and utility statements would trickle in and I'd start the cycle again.

It was all becoming too administrative. Rent in, levies out, the rest is mine — the math was simple, the execution wasn't. I was the bottleneck: copying numbers, chasing references, juggling dates.

So I built Proplo. AI reads each invoice the moment it lands, generates the tenant invoice on a fixed monthly cadence, queues every vendor payment for one-click approval, and reconciles each payment back to the right property automatically.

Now I do nothing. The rent flows. The bills get paid. My evenings are my own.
