Trusted by Renters and Students at:

You’ve been paying on time for years.
It's time you got credit for it

Your rent is one of the biggest expenses you already pay. By reporting it, you turn those payments into a credit-building advantage that can raise your score, save you thousands, and open financial doors after graduation.

The Reality

Mortgage payers get credit for every payment. But for the 100 million renters and students in the US, on-time housing payments are usually invisible to credit bureaus.

The Rentaba Fix

We bridge the gap. We verify your payments directly through your bank, report them to major credit bureaus, and you get the credit you deserve.

NYU

This is what financial inclusion should look like. I didn’t need to take out a loan or get a credit card. I just needed to pay rent on time.

I’m graduating this year and moving to NYC. Rentaba made me feel confident applying for apartments without stress.

Jamie L

University of Michigan

As someone who just moved off-campus, Rentaba gave me peace of mind. I didn’t even know rent could count toward my credit. Now I feel like I’m building toward something real.

Ananya R

Graduate Student at UCLA

As an international student from India, I had no credit and no Social Security Number. Rentaba gave me a real way to start building credit in the U.S. early—and now my rental history is actually mine. I wish I had this my first year.
