What do you like best about Zego?

Zego is very streamlined and easy to use. The format and layout of the site make navigation very easy. You need very little support. With such an easy platform, your residents have a convenient way to submit their payments which allows you more flexibilty in your work flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zego?

It's not apparent enough when someone makes a duplicate payment. There should be a bigger red flag to avoid our residents getting fined. Getting support you need can sometimes be challenging and it feels like people push you to the next person instead of helping you out. But really that is very few and far between and they are likely working your issue and having someone else look, too, for faster support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zego?

Nothing................................. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zego?

This company has a website that will not allow customers with several rental properties to link accounts. The customer service people actually said the solution was for me to set up multiple accounts using unique email addresses for each property. What a broken system. Furthermore, the fees for an ACH payment are higher than the industry average. So pay more per transaction for the inconvenience of a horrible user interface. Apparently there are NO PLANS for them to fix their broken software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The worst payment portal in existence."
0/5
What do you like best about Zego?

I like nothing about this payment portal whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zego?

Awful experience with this payment portal. Seems like this software was coded by an incompetent junior developer with no consideration for the customer, only predatory leasing companies. Terrible user interface, even worse customer service and exorbitant fees for every action you can imagine.

I was charged for rent 3 times because I was unable to view or even make edits to existing payments, and was forced to pay the full balance every time. I was then charged an extra $25 NSF fee for.... having my money rightfully refunded? Also, something literally insane to note – Zego can't automatically pay full balances for Autopay. WTF? How are you not advanced enough to have this feature? I have to manually enter a number in. I've never had to do the math for a company to figure out how much I have to pay. Ridiculous. I also have no ability to make an account through the Zego site or make edits to my own profile, I can only sign in through my leasing company's hideous and primitive SSO site (AMC, don't rent with them either).

CS person was okay but refused to allow our case to be escalated to a manager, and honestly did nothing for us. We also talked with another CS rep before this to cancel an auto payment since we cannot trust this portal with our money, we were told it was canceled, and then in the next call, we were told that the autopay was actually never canceled at all. We were also charged ACH fees for each transaction, that's 6 dollars I'll never get back. I am a recent college graduate that doesn't have the best job. I was charged over 35 dollars, which is so much for someone in my situation. I am heartbroken and sobbed on the phone, and the CS rep was completely uncaring about my experience.

I have been a renter for years and have never had these issues. ActiveBuilding is a much better portal and I wish I had a leasing company competent enough to not use such a primitive and horrible payment portal. I will never recommend Zego and my experience has been completely soured within the first few weeks of dealing with them. I hope they go under and am shocked they even managed to be acquired.... not sure what the parent company sees in them unless they're actively trying to get rid of customers.

Response from Victoria Londerholm of Zego

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We sincerely apologize for your negative experience with our payment portal and our customer support team. The representative you spoke with should not have refused to escalate your call, and they should have sent you a receipt of the AutoPay cancellation that you requested over the phone. We have passed this feedback along to our leadership team for further training and improvement. We will also have a support team lead reach out to you personally to hopefully resolve this and provide further clarification.

When looking into your account, there was a user-submitted payment made, as well as two user-scheduled automatic payments. When submitting a manual payment, it is crucial to skip or cancel any existing AutoPay you do not want to run. Our system automatically sends an email notification to the email address on file any time an AutoPay is created or canceled, as well as any time a payment is submitted.

We will be reaching out to you via email to address any further questions you may have. And we will pass along your feedback regarding our portal's user interface to our product and engineering teams.

Thank you,

The Zego Team

Using the check scanner in the office saves so many trips to the bank. Payments get processed more efficiently and quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zego?

I do wish that once the payment said paid out that it could not be returned NSF in the few days following. We have had so many payments say paid out and they still get returned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
