As always, we were excited to attend the 2025 APRO Tradeshow, and this year’s event did not disappoint! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, share insights, and learn more about the evolving needs of the Rent-to-Own sector—especially when it comes to payment processing.
A Shifting Landscape in RTO Payment Processing
One of the most valuable aspects of attending the APRO Tradeshow is the opportunity to engage with the community and hear directly from RTO professionals about the challenges and opportunities they face in today’s rapidly changing market. The conversations we had during the event were enlightening, especially when it came to the growing need for more efficient, secure, and flexible payment processing solutions within the RTO space.
Members shared with us how the expectations of consumers have shifted—more people now expect to have flexible payment options, easy-to-use mobile platforms, and more integrated systems that make managing their RTO payments as seamless as possible. It was clear that the industry is evolving, and payment processing is at the heart of that transformation.
Meeting the Demands of an Evolving Industry
At ProcessPoint, we’ve always prided ourselves on staying transparent and meeting the needs of the members when it comes to providing payment solutions that truly meet the needs of the RTO industry. The feedback we received from the APRO members highlighted just how crucial it is for businesses to offer customizable payment methods that keep both renters and operators happy.
What stood out most was the emphasis on flexibility in payment processing. Many RTO businesses are now seeking solutions that allow their customers to make payments quickly, whether online, via mobile apps, or in-store. Additionally, the ability to integrate payment systems with other business tools—such as inventory management and customer relationship management (CRM) systems—was a common theme in our discussions. It’s clear that RTO operators are looking for holistic solutions that reduce friction, improve cash flow, and make day-to-day operations easier to manage.
Looking to the Future: Payment Processing in the RTO Industry
The conversations we had at APRO reaffirmed our commitment to continuously innovate and provide solutions that meet the changing needs of the RTO industry. We are excited about the future of payment processing in RTO, and we’re eager to continue evolving our offerings to better serve the unique demands of this sector.
From integrating new payment methods to offering more robust data security, our goal is to help RTO businesses stay ahead of the curve while enhancing the customer experience. As we look ahead, we are excited to be part of an industry that is embracing change and moving towards more efficient, customer-centric solutions.
