Qira — Financial Platform for Property Managers

What is security deposit management software?

Security deposit management software helps property managers collect, hold, refund, and itemize resident security deposits. It typically includes FBO escrow accounts, automated move-out itemization, refunds, and state-by-state compliance — all of which Qira handles.

Where are resident deposits held with Qira?

Deposits are held in an FDIC-insured, interest-bearing FBO account in the property's own name — not pooled or held elsewhere like other providers. Your property remains the named owner of the funds at all times.

What is a security deposit alternative?

A security deposit alternative replaces the traditional upfront cash deposit with a smaller recurring fee. Residents pay less to move in, and the property keeps coverage equivalent to a traditional deposit at move-out.

How can property managers reduce upfront move-in costs for residents?

By offering a security deposit alternative or a deposit installment plan, residents can move in without paying a full month's rent in cash on top of their first month and any application fees.

How can property managers automate move-out claims and refunds?

By using a system that itemizes charges, tracks state-by-state deadlines, sends the resident a digital refund, and stores supporting documentation in one place. Qira handles each step end-to-end.

What rent payment methods does Qira support?

Qira supports ACH, debit, credit, and money order payments through a single resident portal, with ledgers synced back to your PMS so on-site teams don't have to reconcile manually.

How does Pay Later work for rent?

Pay Later lets a resident flex when they pay rent based on their cash flow. The property still receives a single, on-time payout — Qira manages the timing risk between the resident and the property.

Do owners get paid on time when residents use Pay Later?

Yes. Owners receive the full rent amount on the normal schedule. Qira fronts the timing risk so your cash flow and owner distributions are not affected by resident flexibility.
