CMP Paid by LettsPay + FSCS Per Landlord


Sometimes the most powerful messages are not loud or dramatic.

They are simple truths that finally give language to the worries agents feel but rarely express.

  • CMP Paid for agents and FSCS protection for each landlord do not sound earth-shattering on the surface.

But once understood, they signal something agents have been waiting for.
Certainty.
Personal protection.
The removal of silent client money anxiety.

Even agents who are happy with their current system that does the job still choose to partner with LettsPay
— because “good enough” is no longer good enough.

Not because something failed.
But because something finally made sense.

Trust Starts With Proof

Lettings is built on trust.
Agents earn it when landlords know their money is secure and traceable and protected at every step.

LettsPay is FCA registered and integrated with an FCA regulated UK bank with CMP recognised and ring-fenced client accounts.

Every landlord has their own ring fenced wallet which means the simplicity you see is backed by the complexity you never have to manage.

This is how real confidence is created.


1. Every Landlord Has Their Own Ring-Fenced Digital Wallet

Why? Because we can.

Each landlord’s funds are processed through their own digital wallet, completely separated from all other landlords and from your agency’s operational money.

What it means

  • Landlords’ money is always individually accounted for

  • Agents can prove separation instantly

  • No grey areas

This separation builds trust and removes the root cause of most client-money breaches.


2. £85,000 of FSCS Protection — Per Landlord

Why? Because we can.

Every verified landlord’s funds are processed inside an FCA regulated UK bank account.

Our infrastructure qualifies each landlord for £85,000 of FSCS protection per landlord
Not shared across all landlords.
Not pooled.
No compromise.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme is backed by the UK Government, which gives landlords a level of certainty normally reserved for banks and financial institutions.

What it means

  • Agents can offer each landlord personal FSCS cover

  • Landlords know their money is protected regardless of what happens to the agent or the bank

  • A powerful differentiator in landlord retention and acquisition


3. Dual Protection through CMP Paid + Personal FSCS Cover per landlord

Why? Because we can.

If the agent fails CMP protects the landlord.
If the bank fails FSCS protects the landlord.

Two safety nets.
Two regulators.
One message.

This is not just protection.

It is a signal to agents that our systems are robust
and
It is a signal to Landlords that their agent has gone beyond compliance to offer certainty at an individual level.


4. FCA Registered and Compliant by Design

Why? Because we can.

LettsPay is FCA registered, ensuring every transaction sits within a CMP compliant financial structure from the moment it is created.

We remove manual touch points and oversight. Compliance becomes automatic not something you have to police.

What it means

  • The bank and LettsPay move as one, no lag, no gaps

  • Automatic adherence to UK property client money rules

  • Fewer manual touchpoints and fewer opportunities for error


5. Automation Replaces Risk

Why? Because we can.

LettsPay automates the rent processing, allocation, and distribution in real time.

Every incoming payment, every allocation and every disbursement is processed and recorded without manual intervention.

What it means

  • No human error

  • Instant visibility of rent status and balances

  • Real-time reconciliation without any of the work

Real-time Automation is not just faster. It is safer.


6. Real-Time Rent Processing, Payments and Reconciliation

Why? Because we can.

Payments run through the UK Faster Payments service — 24/7/365.
Funds clear quickly, tenants see transparency, and landlords and suppliers get paid in an instant.

What it means

  • Instant rent updates

  • Fewer calls and less admin

  • UK Faster Payment Service - near instant payments 24/7/365

  • A more informed team and happier landlords


7. Earn Interest on Client Funds*

Why? Because we can.

Client funds held in individual wallets can accrue interest which is a fairer and more modern approach than the traditional pooled account model.

What it means

  • Agencies can earn interest to re-invest in technology

  • Every landlord benefits from their own balance

  • Agencies can showcase fairer money handling

  • Demonstrates modern stewardship, trust and fairness

  • *Subject to rules & regulations being met


8. Built-In Identity, AML, PEP & Sanction Checks

Why? Because we can.

LettsPay verifies every landlord before funds even move.
IDV PEP and Sanction checks are built into the landlord onboarding process.

What it means

  • AML compliance becomes instant

  • No separate systems or external landlord checks required

  • Less admin and stronger controls

  • Earn additional revenue or offer a value added landlord service

A verified landlord with a ring fenced digital wallet qualifies for personal, individual FSCS protection.


9. Making Tax Digital — Ready when you need it

Why? Because we can.

A dedicated Landlord and Accountant Portal is being built to support Making Tax Digital (MTD).
This will connect real time financial data directly with tax reporting tools.

What it means

  • Live portfolio data for the landlord and accountants

  • Seamless submissions to HMRC

  • One less thing for agents to worry about


10. Scale or Exit Without Friction

Why? Because certainty increases valuation.

When agents want to scale quickly or prepare for sale the strength of their client money process determines their agility and ultimately their valuation.

LettsPay provides separated, reconciled and fully evidenced client money in real time.

What it means

  • Cleaner due diligence

  • Higher confidence from buyers and investors

  • Easier mergers acquisitions or expansions

  • A higher multiple when you exit

LettsPay is not just a compliance tool.
It is a value multiplier.

(And quite possibly the difference between a buyer maxing out or tapping out).


The Bottom Line

LettsPay brings landlord protection and agent efficiency into one place.

  • It delivers more than compliance. It delivers control.

When a landlord knows their money is safer with you they stay with you.
That is what real growth is built on.


LettsPay removes the friction and chaos that has historically defined clunky, disconnected client accounting processes.

  • No more importing statements to begin your day.

  • No more manual reconciliations to end it.

  • No more uncertainty sitting in the background.

Smarter systems. Better control. Real results.


LettsPay strengthens and de stresses client money protection and protects your landlords funds with confidence.
