The Opportunity: A Platform for Rental Rewards
Rent payment is the biggest share of wallet expense but is rarely leveraged, neither on the consumer nor the rent-collection side. While rent payments in Germany typically account for around 25% to 40% or more of a household's monthly income, renters are rarely rewarded for timely payment or accrue any rewards on this spend amount.
We’re currently exploring the following concept: A neo-bank for renters with a unique engagement mechanism to incentivise usage and positive financial behaviours.
- Incentives toward positive behaviour e.g. holding a month’s worth of rent on the platform as an emergency fund
- Unique data enabling personalised loans, and credit offers
- A marketplace of affiliate products and services within the app e.g. insurance, cleaning etc. where tickets can be exchanged for special offers
- Use of the pooled capital flows to offer landlords benefits like guaranteed rent payments and portfolio analytics
