Who Is a Welile Proxy Agent?
A Proxy Agent brings capital to Welile. You find people willing to support tenants' rent, record what they have committed, and stay with them as they add more.
You do not register tenants, collect repayments or pay landlords. That is Field Agent work.
Who you work with
Partners — the people whose money funds rent. What they get in return is documented in Partner Help, and it is worth reading before you explain it to anybody.
Welile — which verifies the tenants, approves the rent plans, pays the landlords and collects the repayments.
What you actually do
- Find somebody willing to support rent.
- Record their commitment as a promissory note — see what a promissory note is.
- Earmark rent plans or empty houses to that note, if you are using self support.
- See it through until the money is actually there and the note is activated.
- Stay with the partner as they add more, because you earn on that too.
How the role differs from the others
Field Agent — tenants, Rent Requests, collections, houses and landlord payments. Holds operational and landlord float.
Sub-agent — the same field work, under a parent agent.
Merchant Agent — pays out other users' withdrawals from their own Mobile Money line.
Proxy Agent — partners and their capital. No tenant work, no float, no cash handling.
Partner — not an agent at all. A partner is the person putting money in. You bring them; they are not you.
See Agent Types for the full comparison.
What you should be clear about with partners
You are recording a commitment and earning on the capital that follows. You are not the person deciding what that capital earns, which tenants it funds, or when a partner can have it back.
Do not promise a partner a rate, a term or a return. Their portfolio sets those out and their own account is the record. See how partners earn so you can describe it accurately instead.
