What is rent reporting?Rent reporting is the process of submitting your monthly rent payments to credit bureaus like Equifax to build your credit score. Think of it like showing credit bureaus that you are credit worthy because you pay your rent consistently and on time. This practice helps build your credit scores.

How would I benefit from reporting my rent?Choosing our rent reporting program turns your regular payments into a deliberate strategy for a potentially strong financial future. Each on-time rent, a commitment you already honor, now increases your chances of a good credit standing. A good credit standing increases you potential to unlocks better financial perks, like lower interest rates on mortgages, car loans, etc. It's more than smart planning; it's leveraging your rent to potentially fortify your financial trajectory.

How long does it take to build credit history in Canada as a newcomer?While it typically takes about six months of credit activity to establish a credit score, rent reporting offers an additional data point to support that process. By having your rent payments reported to credit agencies like Equifax, you can start building a solid credit foundation. This not only showcases your financial responsibility but also builds your credit profile in the eyes of lenders.
