RentCafe Rewards helps you build your credit history with free rent payment reporting

Did you know that joining RentCafe Rewards can help build your credit score? That’s because RentCafe Rewards members can activate rent payment reporting* at no cost directly in their RentCafe account. RentCafe Rewards turns rent payments into credit-building power.

Your rent is likely your largest monthly expense. With rent payment reporting powered by IdentityIQ^®, your on-time monthly rent payments are automatically reported to Experian^®, Equifax^®, and TransUnion^®, the three major credit bureaus. Over time, this can contribute to building your credit score and better support your financial goals.

Signing up for rent payment reporting means:

• Your payments are reported automatically.
• No impact on your lease terms.
• No change to how you submit rent payments.
