By Charesé Dercksen, Financial Manager: Community Schemes Management – MidCity Property Services (Pty) Ltd

MidCity Property Services is pleased to announce an exciting new chapter for our Community Scheme Management (CSM) division as we officially move towards a paperless, digitally enhanced working environment.

This step reflects our commitment to innovation – one of our core cornerstones – improved governance, and delivering greater value to our schemes, trustees, directors, suppliers, and staff.

As part of this transformation, CSM is implementing EFTSure and AP Automate – two industry-leading platforms designed to strengthen payment security, streamline approvals, and enhance financial controls. EFTSure seamlessly integrates with MRI Property Software and forms part of the MRI Partner Programme.

The introduction of EFTSure brings an added layer of protection against fraud by independently verifying supplier banking details before payments are processed. This significantly reduces the risk of fraudulent or incorrect payments, providing trustees and directors with greater peace of mind and enhanced governance oversight.

With AP Automate, invoice processing and approvals become faster, more transparent, and fully trackable. Trustees and directors will benefit from improved visibility, real-time approval workflows, and reduced paperwork. Decisions can be made more efficiently, even when working remotely, ensuring that supplier payments are processed accurately and on time.

This digital transition reinforces MidCity’s dedication to responsible financial management, transparency, and operational excellence.

Trustees and directors are encouraged to engage with their relevant Portfolio Managers should they require further information or guidance regarding the new systems and processes.
