Why Report Rent
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.
Whether you pay rent to a landlord or housing fees to a university,
we turn your payments into a powerful credit history.
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.
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.
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.
