The new bank accounts work in conjunction with Xspaced's 'FlexRent' tool, a unique feature that allows tenants to divide their rent payments into multiple installments over a month. What makes Xspaced's new bank account feature unique is that it allows renters to set up their own method for paying rent without needing their landlords to register. This means that tenants can use the platform to pay their rent while their landlords can continue using their preferred rent collection channels. The app is designed to help gig workers or those with an inconsistent income stay on top of their rent and gain control over their financial situations. “Tenants can save money towards their next rent payment via [smaller payments over the month](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savings-center), landlords can keep collecting rent on their preferred payment portal – it’s a win/win for everyone!” said Xspaced Cofounder Alex Pelin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Flexible Rent Payment:** The trend of flexible rent payment will increase, creating opportunities for apps like Xspaced to offer additional financial features. - **Virtual Bank Accounts:** Virtual bank accounts are becoming a trend for renters, providing an opportunity for fintech companies to offer innovative financial tools. - **Personalized Rental Payment:** The trend of personalized rental payment tools is growing, providing an avenue for businesses to offer rent-related financial products and services. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fintech:** Fintech companies have a disruptive innovation opportunity to create innovative financial tools for renters, such as virtual bank accounts and flexible rent payment options. - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can take advantage of personalized rental payment trends to offer additional payment options and financial assistance to tenants. - **Gig Economy:** The gig economy presents an opportunity for businesses to provide flexible rent payment options and personalized financial tools to help gig workers manage their finances. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rent Collection Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bettarrent.md) - [Shared Expense Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paymates.md) - [Rental Payment-Tracking Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koho-financial.md) - [Credit-Boosting Financial Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbase.md) - [Canadian Rent-Reporting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borrowell.md) - [Credit-Consolidating Finance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/credit-finance-app.md) - [Credit-Boosting Rental Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-credit.md) - [Renter-Focused Multi-Layer Bank Verification](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multilayer-bank-verification.md) - [Simplified Expense Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easysplit.md)
