Freddie Mac will cover one year of Jetty Credit for multifamily borrowers to help thousands of renters establish and strengthen their credit score
Jetty, the financial services company on a mission to make renting a home more affordable and flexible, announced that Jetty Credit is now a part of Freddie Mac’s renter credit building initiative. Jetty Credit is a service implemented by multifamily properties that facilitates the reporting of on-time rent payments to all three credit bureaus, giving renters the opportunity to build or improve their credit history.
“Establishing credit is a critical component of financial wellness and renters deserve credit for paying rent on-time each month,” said Mike Rudoy, CEO and co-founder of Jetty. “We’re proud to be working with Freddie Mac to bring Jetty Credit to more renters across the country.”
