Urbanise Targets $30–54M Strata Market With NAB Integration and Owners Portal
Urbanise targets $30–54m strata software market with NAB banking integration and new owners portal
Urbanise.com Limited (ASX: UBN) has announced a planned staged release of upgrades to its Strata Management Solution, the initial launch of the Urbanise Owners Portal with Payments and Levies capabilities, and a new NAB banking and payments integration. The Urbanise NAB strata payments integration is targeted for staged pilot release from July 2026, with contracted customers already committed to early adoption.
The announcement follows the company’s 21 April 2026 Urbanise AI release and forms part of a broader product strategy to embed differentiated technology directly into core strata workflows. No revenue from this release has been confirmed at this stage.

What’s actually been built and why it’s different
Rather than redirecting strata owners to a standalone third-party payment utility, the new solution keeps everything inside the existing strata management workflow. The result is a unified ecosystem that connects levy and supplier payments, automated reconciliation, banking services, and an owner-facing portal without reliance on disconnected external tools.
Three core components make up the release:
- Upgraded Urbanise Strata Management Solution — significantly enhanced automated reconciliation and bulk supplier payment workflows, designed to drive operational efficiency as strata portfolios grow.
- Urbanise Integration Service — a purpose-built connection to NAB’s banking and payment infrastructure, previously referred to as Data and Payments Integration Services (DPIS).
- Urbanise Owners Portal — a BCM-branded, mobile-enabled portal launching initially with Payments and Levies capabilities. Described in the announcement as “a first of its kind in the Australian strata market.”
The portal supports a comprehensive range of payment methods, giving owners flexibility in how they meet their obligations:
- BPay
- Australia Post
- PayID
- PayTo
- One-off, scheduled, and recurring payment options
CEO Simon Lee
“This is not just another way to make a payment, it is an end-to-end strata payments and banking integration platform that brings together owner experience, operational automation and reconciliation in one integrated ecosystem.”
Operational leverage for body corporate managers
Automated reconciliation and bulk supplier payment workflows are central to the platform’s value proposition for body corporate managers (BCMs). By connecting banking and payment data directly to the Urbanise Strata core platform, the solution is designed to allow strata managers to scale their portfolios without a proportional increase in administrative overhead, a meaningful efficiency lever as transaction volumes across the industry continue to rise.
Richard Reid, Director, Stratabase
“The Urbanise Strata Management Solution already gives us a competitive edge in winning new business. What excites us about this integration is that levy management and transaction reconciliation is fully automated in Urbanise Strata, and now that data connects directly to the owner’s payment experience, so owners aren’t just making a payment, they’re seeing the full picture in one place. That’s a step change in how we can service our portfolio at scale, and we think it will strengthen our position in a competitive market. We’re looking forward to seeing it in action across our portfolio.”
Understanding the strata payments market opportunity
The Australian strata sector processes large volumes of recurring payments across thousands of properties, yet much of this activity has historically relied on fragmented, manual processes. In practical terms, this means strata managers often use separate systems for levy collection, supplier payments, and bank reconciliation, creating duplication of effort and higher error rates. Purpose-built financial infrastructure that connects these workflows within a single platform has been largely absent from the market.
The scale of the opportunity is substantial, as the following data from the announcement illustrates:
| Metric | Estimated Value | What It Means | Urbanise’s Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual strata funds deposited | $10–15 billion | Scale of cash flows passing through the system each year | Banking integration captures this workflow |
| Annual supplier and levy transactions | $20 billion+ | High-volume, recurring payment activity across the sector | Automated reconciliation targets this activity |
| Market revenue opportunity (integration software) | $30–54 million per annum | Addressable software revenue pool for purpose-built solutions | Core commercial target for UBN |
| Legacy market share still on old systems | 40%+ of market | Portion of the market yet to migrate to modern platforms | Platform positioned as enterprise-grade alternative |
Why strata managers are under pressure right now
Rising service expectations from owners, tighter operating margins, and growing transaction volumes are converging to place body corporate managers under increasing strain. These conditions create a clear market tailwind for solutions that automate routine administration and deliver modern self-service capabilities without adding headcount.
Alex McCormick, Managing Director, SOCM
“Rather than a generic payments tool, the result is a portal that brings together levy information, transaction history and payment capability in one place, under our brand. That’s what saves our clients from having to make unnecessary calls. Owners can see what they owe, understand why, and pay with ease. We’re looking forward to getting it live for our owners.”

Pilot timeline, investor webinar and what to watch next
With contracted customers already committed to early adoption, several near-term milestones are worth monitoring:
- Staged pilot release of the strata payments and banking integration capabilities targeted from July 2026
- Contracted customers already committed to early adoption ahead of pilot launch
- Urbanise AI embedded assistant expected to be available to market during June 2026
- Investor webinar scheduled for 10 June 2026, 9:30am AEST, hosted by Executive Chairman Darc Rasmussen, CEO Simon Lee, and CFO Brent Henley
- Webinar registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rRrhEMPtQQm2oJsYP26dhQ
- Further market updates to be provided as the pilot progresses, including at live customer deployment
The company has reiterated its outlook statement as announced on 26 May 2026, without elaborating further in this release.
The combination of NAB banking integration, the BCM-branded Owners Portal, and the Urbanise AI assistant positions the company as a platform play on the digital transformation of a historically underserved, high-transaction industry. With more than 40% of the strata market still operating on legacy systems, the migration opportunity is concrete, and the pipeline of early adopters suggests commercial traction is beginning to build.
