Rent payments can be ‘reported’ to credit rating agencies

A PropTech supplier claims landlords and letting agents can now offer tenants a new service potentially boosting credit scores with Equifax and Experian by ‘reporting’ rent payments.  

The product is available via the Tenant Shop referencing service.

Called MyCreditBooster, it provides verification of rental payments via open-source banking and the team behind it have been working with Experian and Equifax to include the reported data in credit rating calculations. The people behind the service claim that landlords benefit from tenants who choose to link their rent payments to their credit scores as this provides additional incentive to maintain on-time and in-full rental payments.

Colin Hall, chief commercial officer at Tenant Shop, says: “We’ve put a lot of thought into ensuring the service offers real value to tenants, landlords and letting agents. Whether a letting agent chooses to promote MyCreditBooster to their tenants as a standalone service, or as part of our referencing journey, they should quickly begin to see benefits.”
