How Can You Earn Rewards on Rent?

Paying rent is a monthly expense most renters can’t avoid. But what if you could earn rewards simply by paying your rent on time? With Brick Rewards, you can do exactly that — without changing how or where you pay your rent.

How Brick Rewards Uses Open Banking to Detect Rent Payments

Brick Rewards uses open banking, a secure and regulated technology, to detect when you pay your rent. When you connect your bank account to the Brick Rewards app, it can read your transaction data (with your permission) to spot rent payments leaving your account.

Importantly, Brick does not handle your money or process payments. You continue to pay your rent exactly as you always have — to your landlord, letting agent, or housemate. Brick simply verifies the payment via open banking and awards you points automatically.

No Changes to How You Pay Rent

You don’t need to switch banks, use a new payment method, or pay rent through the app. Brick Rewards works quietly in the background, recognising your on-time rent payments and rewarding you for them.

Earn Points Automatically for On-Time Rent Payments

Every time you pay your rent on time, Brick Rewards detects it and credits your account with points. These points can be redeemed for rewards like gift cards, discounts at local partner businesses, and entry into monthly rent giveaways.

Bonus Points from Shopping with Brick Partners

Beyond rent payments, you can also earn extra points by shopping with Brick Rewards’ partner businesses. These include cafes, gyms, salons, and more — all local to your area. This helps you get even more value from your everyday spending.

Build Your Credit Score by Reporting Rent Payments

Another benefit of Brick Rewards is the option to build your credit score. By opting in, Brick reports your on-time rent payments to Experian, which may help demonstrate your reliability to lenders over time. This feature requires no extra effort beyond connecting your bank account.

How to Get Started with Brick Rewards

Getting started is simple:

  1. Download the Brick Rewards app for free on iOS or Android.
  2. Connect your bank account securely via open banking.
  3. Continue paying your rent as usual.
  4. Watch your points add up automatically each time you pay on time.

It’s a hassle-free way to get rewarded for something you already do every month.
