Team Piñata has officially partnered with MRI RentPayment to elevate the renter experience.
Feeling fancy? Because we are.
The new collab brings Piñata’s credit-building tools and rewards system straight into the MRI RentPayment platform, making rent payments more seamless, easier to manage, and significantly less soul-sucking (and dare we say… more fun?)
No extra apps. No weird login hoops to jump through. No fists shaking at the sky while crying, “whoever designed this never deserves to know the cool side of their pillow!”
Just more benefits, more sighs of relief, and everything in one place, exactly where it should be.
Highlights from the Collab
- A platform designed to reward renters: Pay rent on time through MRI RentPayment? You’ll start racking up Piñata Points, which are redeemable for gift cards, home upgrades, and deals from brands you already love. Want even more? Sign up for the Piñata Pay debit card to earn cash back or bonus points every time you spend or save. No fees. No fluff. No crushing credit card debt, just rewards that add up when you use the money you already have.
- Credit building without the credit card chaos: With the help of Piñata, MRI RentPayments can now report renter payments to all three major credit bureaus, which means tenants can build or boost their credit just by paying rent like they already do. No credit cards. No loans. No spiraling interest rates. Just steady progress, real credit growth, and finally getting credit where credit is due.
- Fully integrated. Zero Drama: The entire Piñata experience has been built right into MRI RentPayment’s interface. That means seamless access, easy opt-in, and no extra admin work for property managers or residents.
- Backed by data: Studies show renters are more likely to pay on time when payments help build credit. Two-thirds say they’d rather live in communities that offer rent reporting (which, yeah, that makes sense). It’s almost like feeling seen and not taken advantage of is… motivating. Who knew? Thankfully, the Piñata x MRI collab turns that from a “nice-to-have” into the new standard. The bar may be in hell, but we’re putting ladders everywhere. Ladders on top of ladders, and mini ladders on top of those ladders.
- A win-win for everyone: Renters get more perks. Property managers get happier residents, less side-eye, better on-time payments, and access to premium Piñata features like backdated rent reporting, identity protection, and expanded reward tiers. All wrapped into one clean, easy-to-manage package. You can finally retire your imaginary cowboy hat, kid. Tenant or property manager, those hallway standoffs mentally scored to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly are officially due for a rewrite. Because as a certain semi-unhinged cowboy once said, “when a man’s got money in his pocket he begins to appreciate peace.”
What’s Next?
With more than six million users on MRI’s platform and 15 million renters already on Piñata, this collaboration brings powerful credit-building tools and meaningful rewards to millions more. And, as usual, we’re just getting started.
As we continue partnering with new platforms, launching renter-first tools, and expanding our network, Piñata is staying focused on one mission:
Making renting work better for the people who make rent happen.
