Good autopay for non tech savy tenants?

Im fairly new to the landlording world 

my family has been doing this for decades and they still collect rent the old fashioned way by driving door to door calling renters and waiting around for hours. Its brutally painful when my father has close to 60 units and renters work odd hours 

So my question is this, what are some good options for landlords who's tenants may not particularly be familiar with the Internet or smartphones? Ive been looking at all the options and most require Internet but most my tenants are older and do not have access to it or are unfamiliar with computers and smartphones.

Go to your bank and ask if they have deposit cards. They are just like a debit card but you can only make deposits. Wells Fargo and Chase have them. We have been doing this for about a year and it has been great. Just go online and you know if rent has been paid. Hope this helps.
