Zenbase, Canada’s leading platform for flexible rent payments and credit-building, is proud to announce a new partnership with Zen Residential, a prominent multi-family real estate company operating across Alberta. This collaboration brings Zenbase’s CreditBuilder and CustomRent solutions to over 5,000 homes within Zen Residential’s growing portfolio, spanning Calgary, Edmonton, and surrounding communities.
Through this partnership, residents in Zen Residential communities now have access to financial tools designed to promote budgeting discipline and long-term credit growth:
- CreditBuilder: Automatically reports current and past rent payments to Equifax, allowing residents to build or strengthen their credit scores simply by paying rent on time—transforming rent into a powerful credit-building tool.
- CustomRent: Enables residents to split their rent into smaller, more manageable payments throughout the month, supporting better budgeting and financial flexibility.
“At Zenbase, our mission is to improve financial health through rent,” said Koray Can Oztekin, CEO and Founder of Zenbase. “By partnering with Zen Residential, we’re bringing our services to thousands of residents in Alberta, making rent work harder for them—both as a credit asset and as a tool for better financial planning to ensure on time rent payments.”
Zen Residential continues to expand its footprint in Alberta’s key markets, with a focus on high-quality, resident-centered communities. The integration of Zenbase into its portfolio reflects a shared commitment to financial empowerment and innovation in rental housing.
“Helping our residents achieve financial wellness is a key part of the value we strive to offer,” said AJ Slivinski, President of Zen Residential. “With Zenbase, we’re giving renters tools that align with their everyday financial needs—credit building, budgeting, and payment flexibility—while reinforcing our commitment to providing more than just a place to live.”
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.
