The rent you already pay, reported to all three bureaus.

Bettercredit reports your on-time rent to Equifax, Experian and TransUnion every month, so the biggest payment you make is on the record when it’s time to buy a home.

Reporting opens when our bureau credentialing completes. No charge until then.

Built to Metro 2®, the reporting standard Equifax, Experian and TransUnion accept.

How it works

Three steps. No new debt. No new bills.

You’re already doing the hard part: paying rent on time. We handle the paperwork that makes it visible.

01

Link your rent

Connect the account you pay rent from, or share your lease details. Enrolling takes minutes, and it never requires a hard credit pull.

02

We report it, every month

Once verified and paid, your on-time rent payments will be reported. Bureaus determine how that factors into your credit score.

03

Build toward the keys

Watch your rent history build in your dashboard, and follow a step-by-step plan toward buying a home, at your pace.

Made for renters

First-time buyers

Dreaming in down payments

You’re a few years out from buying. Start the record now, learn what lenders look for, and arrive prepared, not surprised.

Building credit from rent

Your biggest bill, finally on file

Rent is likely the largest payment you make every month. Reporting it can add that track record to your credit file, no new loan required.

No credit history yet

New to credit, not to paying on time

Thin file, fresh start, or new to the country: your rent can be the first tradeline that tells your story accurately.

Our story

Built by the person on the other side of the desk

“I sat across from renters who’d paid on time, every month, for years, and watched their files come back thin because rent never counted. Bettercredit is the company I always wished I could refer them to.”

That’s why every plan comes with more than reporting: plain-English education, real numbers, and a clear path toward buying, starting years before you ever apply.

Reporting begins after your first verified payment cycle. Bettercredit reports payment history as furnished data; we don’t promise any particular credit outcome. How bureaus and scoring models use rent data varies.
