For architects and designers
Protect the budget. Earn a commission.
Each stage of your client’s build is funded before it starts, and the money is only released when the work is approved. You look after the design. The payments follow the stages everyone agreed.
Why partner with Renopay?
Arguments about money damage client relationships. Renopay ties every payment to the stages everyone agreed.
No more vanishing budgets
Each stage is funded before work on it starts, so the money for that stage is already there. No more 'sorry, I spent the budget on the kitchen' conversations.
No extra admin
You inspect and value the work as normal. The homeowner approves each stage in the app and the money is released. No new software for you to learn.
A referral fee for you
Earn a referral fee for every project that uses Renopay. Turn your network into a new revenue stream.

For your clients
Your client’s money is held securely until the work is approved
Every payment is held by our FCA-regulated payment partner, and there’s a fair, independent process if your client and their builder disagree.
Safeguarded from day one
- An FCA-regulated partner. Your client’s money is held by OPP (Online Payment Platform), our payment partner, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
- A safeguarded account. It’s kept in a safeguarded account, separate from OPP’s and Renopay’s own money.
- Released on approval. The builder can see the money is there, but it’s released only when your client approves the stage, or automatically if there’s no response or dispute within 14 days.
Payment services are provided by Online Payment Platform Limited (OPP), an Authorised Electronic Money Institution regulated by the FCA, Firm Reference Number 1003976. Read OPP’s terms
Fair if you don’t agree
- 1.Raise it in the app. Either side can, with photos and notes. The money for that stage stays held securely while you sort it out.
- 2.Agree a way forward. A fix, a part payment or sign-off, confirmed in the app.
- 3.An independent decision. If you still can’t agree, an independent RICS surveyor looks at the work and decides how that stage’s money is split.
Renopay doesn’t take sides. Each side pays half the surveyor’s fee when the dispute is escalated, and the surveyor decides who pays it in the end. Read the full dispute process
