Have all your cards and information to hand before starting to text on your phone. If you don't have a rent payment card or need a new one, please email us at enquires@servite.co.uk or call one of our local offices.
- Using your Servite Housing Association swipecard and debit/credit card complete the simple four step registration process online at
Welcome to allpayments.text - Your text message MUST ALWAYS start with the word "PAY" which can be in upper or lower case but must always be PAY. This is the word which will tell us it is a payment. If this is not included the payment will be rejected.
- TEXT CODE - After the word "PAY", your text message must include one of the Text Codes that you have already registered to denote different types of payments. You can check the Text Codes that you have registered by logging in to your allpayments.text homepage and viewing the Payment Cards that you have registered, each with its corresponding Text Code. Your Payment Card is the card issued to you as an identifier by the organisation to whom you need to make payments.
- AMOUNT - Your text message must include the amount of money that you wish to pay. This should be entered in an unambiguous way, composed solely from any combination of digits and the "£" symbol. Example: £5.00, £5 or just 5 to signify "five pounds".
- Whole numbers will always be interpreted as whole pounds, ie: "6" will be interpreted as "six pounds". If you wish to enter an amount of pence, this must be entered as 2 digits following a decimal point, ie: "1.50" would signify "one pound and fifty pence" while "1.5" would be rejected as an incomplete amount.
- TEXT PASSWORD - Your text message must include one of the Text Passwords that you have already registered with the allpayments.text service in order that we know which card you would like to pay with. The Text Password is automatically allocated to each of your registered Credit/Debit cards by the allpayments.text service and comprises the last 4 digits of the card itself. You can view the Credit/Debit cards that you have registered together with their corresponding Text Passwords on your allpayments.text homepage.
- AND FINALLY - Once you have finished composing your text message following the guidelines above, you simply need to send your message to 81025 to make your payment. You should receive a text message in reply, usually within 3 minutes, to tell you whether or not your payment has been made successfully.
