@devin - can we get some idea of ETA for Billpay and Zelle features?
There are some lengthy threads about both and I know they’re in works but it would be nice to have some sort of an idea on timeline… will it happen this quarter, year, beyond?
I’ve taken the plunge and am attempting to use Stessa PRO as our primary banking but unfortunately without billpay and Zelle I can’t pay the city, contractors, and others that I need to pay ad hoc and on a recurring basis.
Venmo does work as an electronic payment service but unfortunately not everyone takes it.
I’m having the same issues, banks wont link or update. I’ve reached out to customer service was given the same response. Unfortunately we just switched to Pro this year, so i’m not very impressed.
you can request the limits get increased to $6 or $10K per day. It’s really frustrating to have limits in place, definitely doesn’t give you a good feeling for the stability of the institution but that’s where it’s at.
Can we please get an update on Zelle and Billpay features? I’m not sure how I’m suppose to refund a security deposit to a tenant? How am I suppose to get money out of a stessa account to return to tenants.
I still haven’t cut the cord from my business account at Chase for this very reason and I’m getting slightly annoyed of needing to transfer funds to Chase each time I need to send a billpay and or Zelle
Yes, same here, I keep an account open with BofA for the exact reasons mentioned above. I would like to not have to do that at some point. I’ve expressed my interest via chatting that I would like Zelle to be an option but I only received a response about contributing to this forum to voice my opinion.
Yep, hopefully enough people express interest that they make it happen. I need both zelle and billpay because some city bills (e.g. Health permits, fire permits, etc) are old fashion and won’t do zelle. Also my gardeners and a few others prefer paper checks and those are great to automate monthly via billpay.
When I saw that Stessa did not natively support Zelle within the Stessa app, I thought, no big deal, I’ll just use the Zelle app which works with any Debit card. Unfortunately, Zelle only supports PERSONAL debit cards, and won’t work with BUSINESS debit cards
Interesting, I didn’t know that you could use Zelle with just a debit card, but bummer that it wouldn’t work with Stessa accounts. I thought they were personal accounts. Another reason for Stessa to make zelle happen quickly.
To be honest the ONLY reason i have not moved all finances over to Stessa is because there is no Zelle options at this time. I receive some of my rents via Zelle and also have to pay for repairs, maintenance using Zelle. Without Zelle I just cant switch over to Stessa so I am hoping you all add this feature soon
I agree with this thread. I am struggling to find the most effective way to return deposits. Still keeping my other account for this and using Venmo. My CPA wants us off Venmo. I’d love a way to pay bills (such as the landscaper, etc. ) and return deposits out of my applicable accounts within Stessa.
The best workaround i’ve found, is to have a single account for security deposits, then have checks printed and just use them like it’s 1994. I truly didn’t know feature-minimal checking accounts existed like this. I’m holding out hope for better days ahead.
I have pro as well, it all seems essentially useless since we have to do multiple extra steps since we cannot bill pay in Stessa. Please add this asap or I’ll have to swap to a platform that provides this service.
Agree, it’s frustrating that they promised this as a new feature 6 months ago when they changed banking providers and we haven’t got any update. Disappointed
Hey all - I just reached out to support about this, and the lack of updates, and found out that they are still working on it and hope to have it completed by end of 2024. I spoke to a customer support agent on a call and they said the more feedback from various users on the forums the more attention they’ll pay to the feature request!!!
So if billpay and Zelle are important to you, please take a minute to respond and let @devin and team know but showing your interest here
They seem pretty customer driven so if customers are all requesting a feature it will likely make it into production much quicker!
@randall thanks for chiming in. I’m also a PRO subscriber, almost 2 years now. Love the service they’re building and would love to cut the cord to CapitalOne and Chase so I don’t have to transfer funds always to use billpay and zelle.
