Zenbase, a Leader in Flexible Rent Payments, Joins the Canadian Lenders Association as a New Member
Toronto, ON, May 3, 2022 – The Canadian Lenders Association (CLA) is pleased to welcome Zenbase as a new member. Zenbased is a company committed to economic inclusion in order to foster financial empowerment for renters. Its solutions improve the financial wellness of renters while improving operational efficiency for property managers. Zenbase was founded with the vision of becoming a trusted partner in managing household finances while eliminating late fees and predatory financing.
“We are thrilled to welcome Zenbase into the Canadian Lenders Association and look forward to integrating them into the CLA’s Roundtables and webinars.” says Gary Schwartz, President of the CLA. “Zenbase offers a vital service for Canadians, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for them.”
In a time in which more Canadians are struggling to meet rent payments and there’s a housing crunch in major cities, socially responsible finance has never mattered more. Currently operating across Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, soon, Zenbase plans to expand into Ontario and British Columbia.
“Zenbase and the CLA share similar objectives. We are both committed to growing financial literacy and promoting financial empowerment through responsible lending. We look forward to working with industry leaders to develop unique partnership opportunities and provide hard working Canadians a better solution to manage their largest monthly expense: rent.” says Philipp Postrehovsky, COO at Zenbase.
Rent is usually due on the 1st of the month, but that doesn’t align with most people’s bi-monthly pay cycle. Zenbase has fixed that misalignment and provides other financial tools to help level the playing field. Since Zenbase launched, it has saved more than $700 at an annualized rate per resident by avoiding late fees and overdraft fees, and growing its active renters by more than 50% MoM. In addition to the rent product, more than 40% of our members are also using its fee-free cash advance service to cover their utilities, groceries and gas.
Zenbase’s mission is to ensure that no one is ever behind on their rent payments or gets evicted. Zenbase also offers other financial solutions that empower users to better navigate financial challenges that life may throw at them.
