Zenbase, Canada’s leading provider of resident-first financial health amenities, today announced a new partnership with Equium Group, a Calgary-based third-party property management company. Through this collaboration, Zenbase will introduce automated rent reporting and flexible rent payment solutions across purpose-built rental communities managed by Equium Group in Calgary, helping residents build long-term financial stability while enhancing the rental experience.
Founded in Calgary, Equium Group provides full-service multi-residential property management on behalf of institutional and private owners. The firm is known for its focus on operational excellence, strong governance, and a resident-first approach to managing rental communities across the city.
This partnership reflects Equium Group’s commitment to offering modern, value-added amenities that support both residents and ownership groups in Calgary’s evolving rental market.
By integrating Zenbase’s platform, residents in Equium-managed communities will gain access to two key benefits:
Automated Rent Reporting
Residents can have their on-time rent payments automatically reported to both major credit bureaus, allowing them to build and strengthen their credit profiles simply by paying rent.
Flexible Rent Payments
Residents can split their monthly rent into smaller, scheduled payments aligned with their pay cycles. This flexibility helps reduce financial strain, supports better cash-flow management, and lowers the risk of late or missed payments.
“Calgary is an important rental market, and Equium Group plays a key role in managing high-quality multi-residential housing across the city,” said Koray Can Oztekin, CEO of Zenbase. “Together, we’re bringing practical financial health tools to renters while supporting more predictable rent performance for owners and operators.”
“At Equium Group, our focus is delivering best-in-class property management services that create stable, well-run rental communities,” said Joanne Ferguson Senior Vice President, Asset Managementat at Equium Group. “Partnering with Zenbase allows us to extend that commitment by offering residents financial wellness tools that help them build credit and manage rent payments more comfortably.”
Zenbase’s platform integrates seamlessly with property management operations and has demonstrated measurable improvements in resident engagement, on-time rent performance, and overall portfolio stability.
About Zenbase
Zenbase, a financial health solution, offers Canada’s only dual rent reporting and most popular split rent payments. Being an ESG inspired company, we are committed to economic inclusion that fosters financial empowerment for renters. Our solutions improve the financial wellness of renters while improving operational efficiency for property managers. Rent is usually a person’s single largest monthly expense but it doesn’t build your credit. It’s also due on the 1st of the month but that doesn’t align with most people’s bi-monthly pay cycle. We’ve fixed these pain points to help level the playing field. Zenbase is available in over 250,000 homes across Canada. Learn more at myzenbase.com.
