Paying rent online doesn’t directly build credit, as rent payments are not typically reported to the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). However, some of the best rent collection apps offer an option to report rent payments to credit bureaus for an additional fee. By doing so, your tenants’ on-time rent payments may be reflected on their credit reports, potentially helping to build their credit history and score over time. Your tenants would potentially appreciate this feature and you may be able to retain good tenants for the long term.
