Problem
Many renters miss out on opportunities to earn rewards or build credit when paying rent, a significant monthly expense. Traditional rent payment methods often lack the automation and convenience found in other financial transactions. Managing rent splits with roommates can be a hassle, requiring manual tracking and coordination.
Solution
RentGo is a platform that allows renters to automate rent payments via credit card, debit card, or bank account, enabling them to earn cashback, travel points, and other rewards. The service ensures timely rent payments to landlords via Interac e-Transfer, while also offering advanced rent-splitting features for shared living situations. By linking a payment method and uploading a lease agreement, renters can schedule payments and have RentGo handle the rest. For landlords, RentGo offers tools to automate rent collection, perform tenant screening, and manage properties through a centralized dashboard.
