Turn your rent into points toward buying a home
Renting gives you nothing. We think that should change.
Like frequent flyer points, but for buying a house
Pay rent on time, earn points. Build streaks, unlock boosters, and get 3x closer to owning your first home. It's simple and should have existed years ago.
How it works
1. Connect your rent (we use Australia's open banking system, so it's secure and you stay in control)
2. Earn points every month for paying rent on time
3. Get matched with properties you can actually afford
4. Redeem your points toward your home deposit when you're ready to buy
Unlock boosters and buy sooner
Beat your bills, hit savings streaks, and stack boosters to speed up your deposit. The more consistent you are, the faster you get there.
Access first home buyer schemes
We connect you with first home owner grants, first home guarantee, low deposit loans, and shared equity options. All the stuff that helps you buy sooner.
Get something back from your biggest expense
You're already paying rent. Why shouldn't that count toward something?
Over 500 Australians are turning rent into deposits. Join them.

Upload statements for Occupoints on rent:
We observed that some of our users, especially those using "Centrepay" to pay rent are unlikely to be able to connect their accounts via open-banking. In this update, we've introduce a link to upload your statements. The formats range from docs, pdfs or images. Please note, it takes about 2-3 business days to verify your timely rent payments this way and award Occupoints accordingly. Also, it needs to be performed periodically unlike with open-banking, which happens automatically. If you are initially feel uncomfortable to connect your account or pay via Centrepay you can use this option, otherwise we recommend connecting your bank account via open-banking - it's simple, very safe and automatic.
Fixed poor font scaling:
On large screen devices we observed poor and zoomed font scaling occurring. If you have faced such an issue where the interface doesn't feel right, we recommend updating your app to this version.
Reworked onboarding flow:
We expect users to connect their accounts first so we can get straight to rewarding them Occupoints for their rent. Once users complete this step, filling up the buyer quiz soon after will help us connect the dots of affordability and the rent to your homeownership plan. This makes it easy for us to help you buy that dream home and escape the rental rinse.
Strong incentive towards home deposit on connect screen:
To clarify things especially with users that don't understand the concept - Occubuy rewards points just for paying your rent on time, and we now aim to this automatically. These points are a way to gain ownership while you rent because it doesn't allow your rent to go to waste. The points can then be redeemed towards a discount on the amount of deposit you need to save, accelerating you towards homeownership much faster than anything before.
Major phone number verification bug fix:
If you faced an issue with verification of your phone number during signup in the recent past, we apologize for the inconvenience. This version should be more stable and it should help those that had trouble on this screen move forward.
