Keybox is a real estate specific platform developed and supported by Payload (Payload.co). Keybox is an integrated digital solution for earnest money payments, agent commission payouts, agent dues, agent invoicing, and other brokerage related payments. Our unique API design is capable of integrating with existing key ERP, CRM, Transaction Management, and Accounting platforms, providing the framework to empower real estate organizations to operate more efficiently in today’s age of digital transformation.
Payload is a powerfully simple financial technology (fintech) platform for software providers and merchants looking to “unload” the burden associated with accepting Credit Card & ACH payments.
Payload’s proprietary payment platform is a developer-friendly technology stack that simplifies integration effort and minimizes card data security exposure. It’s dead-simple for developers with the sophistication for businesses of all sizes.
Keybox is a comprehensive platform that can support nearly all electronic real estate transactions, not just Earnest Money Deposits. Think of us as a single stop for all real estate payments.
Additionally, our low transaction pricing (paid by the home buyer) and minimal-step payment workflow encourages a higher payment adoption rate.
