I started with Cozy and loved them- hated the delay.I now use Zelle and all my rents are in my account, on or before the 1st.I still use Cozy for a lot of other features- Listing, background, record...

Obviously this is extremely difficult, but automation is quickly gaining traction so i try to account for that.
