For renters, properties, and beyond.

Imagine If Your Rent Could Power-Up Your Financial Future

Every month, you pay your rent — faithfully, on time, without fail. It’s probably your biggest expense, and yet, it’s one that’s never really worked for you. Until now.

With Piñata, every rent payment becomes more than just money out. It becomes progress — a step toward the financial future you’ve been building in the background all along.

We see it all the time: renters who join Piñata, start reporting their on-time rent payments, and watch their credit scores climb — sometimes by 40, 60, even 100 points within months. That’s not just a number on a screen. That’s possibility.

The Ripple Effect of a Better Credit Score

Here’s what happens when that three-digit number starts rising:

  • You save real money.
    A renter with a 580 credit score might get a 12% interest rate on a car loan. Bump that score to 700, and that same car suddenly costs thousands less over time — just because your rent payments were finally recognized.
  • You get more “yeses.”
    From apartments to credit cards, approvals become easier. You may skip security deposits altogether or finally qualify for that rewards card that used to feel out of reach.
  • You start thinking long-term.
    That stronger credit history? It’s your ticket to lower mortgage rates and real homeownership options. We’ve seen Piñata renters who once struggled to get approved for an apartment turn around and get approved for their first home loan.

 

Real Talk: Your Rent Is Already an Investment

Let’s be honest — rent isn’t going away anytime soon. It’s something you already budget for, stress about, and prioritize. The only question is: shouldn’t you be getting something back for it?

With Piñata, you do. Each month, you:
– Build credit effortlessly with on-time payments
– Earn rewards and cash back for being a responsible renter
– Move closer to financial goals you’ve been dreaming about — without changing your routine

You don’t need to overhaul your finances or become an expert overnight. You just keep doing what you’re already doing — paying your rent — and Piñata does the rest.

 

Your Future Just Got a Boost

Think about where you want to be a year from now. Maybe it’s behind the wheel of a car you actually love. Maybe it’s finally getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Or maybe it’s simply the relief of knowing your finances are trending up, not sideways.

Whatever your next chapter looks like, your rent payments can help write it.

Piñata turns something ordinary into something powerful — the kind of quiet financial win that builds over time until suddenly, your future feels wide open.

Renting Deserves Credit (Literally): How To Finally Build Credit With Rent Payments

These days, nearly half of all renters are under 40, but the average renter is about 42 years old. Translation: renting isn’t just a pit stop on the road to adulthood anymore. For millions of Americans, it is adulthood. From the wide-eyed to the fully seasoned, today’s renters are juggling full-time jobs, credit cards, and probably have at least one war story about a roommate named Chad who never did his dishes.
