Hemlane does not accept direct cash payments, but if you prefer to use cash there are safe and simple alternatives available. Two of the most popular options are Green Dot and Chime. Both allow you to deposit cash and then pay rent online through Hemlane using the card or account they provide.
What Is Green Dot?
Green Dot is a prepaid debit card that you can load with cash and use to make payments online, just like a regular debit card. You can purchase a Green Dot card at many major retailers including:
- Walmart
- CVS
- Walgreens
- Rite Aid
- Dollar Tree
- 7-Eleven
Once you have a card, you can register and manage it at greendot.com. To add cash, visit any participating store and load funds at the register or through a MoneyPak. After loading your card, log into Hemlane, add the card to your account, and use it like any other debit card to pay your rent.
What Is Chime?
Chime is a financial technology company that offers a bank account and debit card. You can deposit cash to your Chime account at over 85,000 retail locations across the U.S. and use your Chime Visa Debit Card to pay rent through Hemlane. Popular locations that support Chime cash deposits include:
- Walgreens
- CVS
- Walmart
- 7-Eleven
- Speedway
- Family Dollar

Why Use Green Dot or Chime?
Using Green Dot or Chime allows you to stay current on rent while still using cash. Both options give you a secure and trackable way to convert cash into an online payment, help you avoid the risks that come with mailing cash or using money orders, and are widely available and easy to reload when you need them.
