Zenbase, Canada’s leading financial wellness platform for renters, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Minto Apartments, one of Canada’s premier property management and real estate investment companies. This collaboration will bring Zenbase’s innovative financial health amenities to over 11,000 rental units across Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver.
As part of this partnership, residents of Minto Apartments will gain access to rent reporting and split-rent payments, two practical tools designed to help build credit scores and add financial flexibility.
- Rent Reporting: Residents can now build their credit history with both major credit bureaus simply by paying their rent. Zenbase allows tenants to report both ongoing rent payments and up to 24 months of past rental history, turning rent into a powerful tool for financial progress.
- Split Rent Payments: This feature gives residents an additional way to manage their household budget by enabling rent to be split into smaller payments throughout the month. For many households, this added flexibility may help with cash flow timing, reduce month-to-month strain, and support longer-term financial planning.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to creating thriving, financially empowered communities,” said Koray Can Oztekin, CEO of Zenbase. “By providing tenants with tools that build credit and improve budgeting, we’re not just supporting their financial goals, we’re helping redefine what it means to rent in Canada.”
“At Minto Apartments, we’re always looking for ways to enhance the resident experience and support the evolving needs of our communities,” said Michelle Calloway, Senior Vice President of Operations. “By bringing Zenbase to our properties, we’re giving residents added options and support so rent feels more manageable, helping reduce the pressure that can come with monthly deadlines and enabling people to focus on life at home, not just their next payment.”
This partnership also underscores Minto Apartments’ commitment to operational excellence. By integrating Zenbase’s financial wellness tools, Minto is not only streamlining rent-related processes but also enhancing the overall resident experience. These innovations can help support on-time payments, improve visibility into cash flow, and foster deeper resident engagement. In turn, Minto Apartments may be better positioned to stand out in a competitive rental market, offering a distinctive, resident-first approach that helps attract and retain residents.

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.
