Zenbase, a leading rent payment platform that helps Canadians build credit and improve their financial health, has announced a partnership with Wesgroup Properties, one of British Columbia’s fastest-growing real estate companies. The partnership brings Zenbase’s CreditBuilder and CustomRent services to Wesgroup’s rapidly expanding rental portfolio, which is nearing 1,500 homes across the Metro Vancouver area.
This partnership marks a significant step in enhancing the financial wellbeing of renters in one of Canada’s most competitive housing markets. Wesgroup residents will now have access to:
- CreditBuilder: A powerful tool that automatically reports past and current rent payments to credit bureaus, enabling renters to build or strengthen their credit profiles through on-time rent payments.
- CustomRent: A flexible rent payment solution that allows residents to split their rent into smaller, more manageable payments throughout the month—offering improved budgeting support and cash flow stability.
“At Zenbase, we believe that rent should work for renters and maximize their financial health,” said Koray Can Oztekin, CEO and Founder of Zenbase. “We’re thrilled to partner with Wesgroup to bring our financial wellness tools to thousands of residents and ensuring timely rent payments, leading to greater financial confidence. Together, we’re making rent more flexible and credit-building more accessible”
Wesgroup Properties continues to grow its rental housing portfolio, with nearly 1,500 rental homes built and another 2,000 under development. As a vertically integrated developer committed to building complete, connected communities, Wesgroup is aligning with Zenbase to add real value to the resident experience.
“Providing our residents with the tools to manage their financial health is a natural extension of our commitment to quality living,” said Sarah Liu, Wesgroup’s Senior Director, Residential Property Management. “As our rental communities expand, we are proud to offer innovations like Zenbase that promote greater financial inclusion and flexibility.”
About Zenbase
Zenbase, a financial health solution, offers Canada’s only automated 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 120,000 homes across Canada. Learn more at myzenbase.com.
