RentenPe 17+

In young India, where a large portion of the population is under 40, many individuals relocate from their hometowns to major cities. These migrants significantly contribute to the nation’s GDP, dedicating nearly 30% of their hard-earned income to rent while aspiring to own a home—a powerful status symbol in our society.

Despite their regular and substantial rent payments, this essential financial commitment is neither acknowledged nor rewarded.

In contrast, when we consistently pay off credit cards or EMIs, financial institutions recognize our reliability with improved credit scores and offer better loan terms at lower interest rates. However, due to the lack of rental payment data or profiles, renters miss out on opportunities for better rental deals and financial benefits.

Rent being a major budget item and paid with equal consistency, remains undervalued in financial metrics. This oversight fails to acknowledge the crucial financial commitment renters make each month.

Why does rent fail to receive the same financial recognition and respect as EMIs, credit card payments, or loan repayments?

Unlocking the Power of Rent

Recognizing this issue, RentenPe partnered with EY-Parthenon to conduct thorough research, uncovering that this challenge is not limited to India but extends globally. The research revealed the significant untapped potential of incorporating rent payment data into financial assessments. In response, RentenPe has developed an innovative solution to address this gap and enhance recognition for renters by Introducing India’s First Rent Credit Score and Residence Card.

Rent Credit Score: This pioneering metric is tailored specifically for the residential rental market. It is computed using an advanced algorithm based on a variety of financial, qualitative, and quantitative factors. Unlike traditional credit scores that focus on loans or credit cards, the Rent Credit Score is derived from a tenant’s profile and consistent rent payments. Each time you pay your rent or engage with the RentenPe app, your score improves. The more you engage, the stronger your score becomes. This score isn’t just a number; it’s your financial ally. A high Rent Credit Score can facilitate access to better rental agreements, rent loans, security deposit loans, pre-approved home loans, and even offer savings of up to one month’s rent. It also showcases your reliability as a tenant, instilling confidence in landlords and unlocking new opportunities.

Residence Card (R-Card): The R-Card is India’s first digital rental identity, designed to streamline the rental process for both tenants and landlords. Unlike a payment card, the R-Card acts as a digital ID, functioning as your rental passport with a verified profile and Rent Credit Score. For tenants, it provides access to premium properties, quicker approval processes, and potential rent discounts. For landlords, it delivers instant access to verified tenant profiles, early rent facilities & more. RentenPe’s proprietary technology ensures that the R-Card serves this specific purpose, distinguishing it from other financial tools.

By integrating the Rent Credit Score with the R-Card, RentenPe is transforming every rent payment into a step toward achieving your financial goals and homeownership aspiration.

RentenPe is not merely launching a new product but driving a fundamental shift in how rent is perceived in India. By turning rent into a powerful financial tool, we are reshaping the rental landscape and forging a path to a more secure financial future for all stakeholders—tenants, landlords, and real estate professionals. With RentenPe, every rent payment is not just an expense but a step closer to owning your own home.
