Pros & Cons
Pros
- ASX-listed Australian company (UBN) with NAB holding 15% equity — strategic backing from a Big Four bank adds credibility and financial integration capabilities
- Manages 600,000+ lots across 18 countries — proven scale and used by approximately one-third of Australia's major strata managers
- First strata platform with Big Four bank integration — NAB partnership (launching early 2026) enables direct levy payments and simplified reconciliation
- Fully cloud-native architecture — no on-premise infrastructure required, accessible from any device, with ISO 27001 certification
- Scalable per-lot pricing with volume discounts — costs decrease per lot as portfolio grows, avoiding large upfront capital investment
- Comprehensive integrated platform covering trust accounting, levy management, arrears automation, work orders, document management, and owner portals
- Self-service owner portals auto-created with live data — reduces routine enquiries to strata managers for levy balances, documents, and service requests
- Australian offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane with phone support at 1300 832 852
Cons
- No public pricing — per-lot pricing requires a direct quote, making cost comparison with competitors difficult
- User reviews report bugs and a sometimes cumbersome interface — one reviewer described it as 'only marginally better than using a manual system'
- End-users (owners/residents) cannot report issues directly to Urbanise — they must go through their strata manager for support
- No verified Xero, MYOB, or third-party accounting integrations — limited integration ecosystem beyond the NAB partnership
- Company is currently unprofitable (negative profit per employee) — introduces some long-term platform viability risk for agencies committing to the ecosystem
- Data hosting location specifics not publicly confirmed — AWS is stated but whether data resides in Australian regions is unverified
- Limited verified third-party integrations (only i4T Maintenance and TSM confirmed) compared to broader software ecosystems

Is Urbanise an Australian company?
Yes. Urbanise.com Limited was founded in Australia in 2001 (originally as Majitek) by Rob Cumming and Steve Outtrim. It is listed on the ASX under the code UBN, headquartered in North Sydney, NSW, with offices in Melbourne and Brisbane. NAB holds a 15% equity stake following a strategic partnership announced in May 2025.
What is the Urbanise and NAB partnership?
In May 2025, NAB became the first of Australia's Big Four banks to integrate business banking and payment solutions into a strata platform, acquiring 15% of Urbanise's share capital. The integration launches in early 2026 and will enable property owners to pay strata levies directly through the platform with simplified reconciliation for strata managers.

No verified integrations with Xero, MYOB, or other external accounting platforms were found during our research. Urbanise Strata operates as an integrated platform with its own trust accounting and financial management capabilities. The NAB banking integration (launching 2026) is the primary third-party financial integration.
