Esusu

Financial help

About

Esusu reports your on-time rent payments to the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion), which can help you build or strengthen credit, useful if you have thin or no credit history. Renters can sign up directly through the Esusu app or resident portal, and the company reports only on-time payments, never late or missed ones. Esusu also offers financial coaching, flexible and split rent payments, and a rent relief program. One thing to know: some features, including rent reporting through your lease and rent relief, depend on whether your landlord or property participates with Esusu, so check whether your building is enrolled. Esusu is a financial technology company, not a bank.
