Your Credit is Important. Your Online Rent Payment Can Help.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Credit history is pretty important. In today’s world, a good credit score can lead to lower cost loans<\/a> – whether that be a car loan or a credit card interest rate. Additionally, many employers are now checking credit scores<\/a> as part of background checks on potential employees. Most people know that a good credit history is important, but much less well known is that you can build credit history with online rent payment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credit Reports Include Rent Payment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 2000s, the big 3 US credit bureaus started to add rent payment information to an individual’s credit history. Initially, they offered this only to some people who rented from the largest apartment companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Experian through its Experian RentBureau<\/a> subsidiary, made a revolutionary step by allowing tenants in the ClearNow online rent payment service to report their payments<\/a>. Later on, Experian worked with other online rent payment service providers to also start reporting rent payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Build Credit History with Online Rent Payment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of services<\/a> that help tenants get their rent payment information added to their credit history. Unfortunately, some of them appear to be a little expensive. RentReporters<\/a> charges a $94.95 sign-up fee and then $9.95\/mo. Rental Kharma<\/a> similarly charges a $50 setup fee and then $8.95\/mo per renter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can get your landlord to use ClearNow’s online rent payment service<\/a>, there is no fee for you as a tenant to have your payments furnished to Experian. Landlords using ClearNow pay $14.95\/mo for the first tenant and just $2\/mo for each additional tenant. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
