Brief: Malaysian property management startup snaps up funding

TechInAsia Sept 7, 2017

Malaysia-based iResidenz is an online property management platform that connects property owners, managers, and tenants. Tenants can use the portal to access bills, make payments, book facilities, and submit complaints. Meanwhile, property owners and managers are given access to real-time reports and an automation feature for select administrative tasks.

As a part of its user acquisition campaign, the platform employs a freemium model, without any subscription or setup fee. It generates revenue mainly through its payment gateway services, where users are charged US$0.76 each time an online payment is made in the platform.
