Calgary-based startup Zenbase has officially launched Canada’s first rental reporting API to help consumers leverage rental payment data to empower them in building their credit. One of the first partners to adopt this API is APOLLO Insurance, a leader in digital insurance solutions. By embedding Zenbase’s rental reporting functionality into its platform, APOLLO aims to provide an enhanced suite of services that protect renters and support their financial growth.
“For more than 10 million Canadians who are credit unserved or underserved, our mission is to democratize access to credit-building and empower renters to leverage their most essential payment to build their credit. This API allows developers to fully white-label rental reporting and represents a major step forward in making rental reporting an industry norm," said Koray Can Oztekin, Founder and CEO of Zenbase.
