How to Sign Up for Rent Rewards in the UK

For most of us, rent is our single largest monthly expense. Yet, unlike your weekly food shop or your morning coffee, paying your rent on time has historically earned you absolutely nothing in return. No points, no perks, and no recognition for being a reliable tenant.

Brick Rewards is here to change that. We believe UK renters deserve to get more from their money. By signing up for Brick Rewards, you can earn points on your rent payments automatically and use them to unlock local rewards, discounted gift cards, and exclusive perks.

Best of all, signing up is incredibly straightforward. Unlike some alternative platforms that require you to open new bank accounts or change how you pay your landlord, Brick works seamlessly in the background. Here is your step-by-step guide to signing up and earning rent rewards today.

Step 1: Download the Free Brick Rewards App

To get started, you need to download the official Brick Rewards app. It is entirely free to download and is available on both iOS and Android devices.

Once you have downloaded the app, you will be prompted to create your account. This takes just a few moments. Because Brick is designed specifically for UK renters, you will also be able to see local reward partners based around your postcode—including nearby coffee shops, gyms, bars, and beauty salons where you can spend your points.

Step 2: Securely Connect Your Bank Account via Open Banking

This is the most important step, and it is what makes Brick Rewards so unique. To reward you for your rent, the app needs a secure way to know when your rent has been paid. We do this using open banking.

During the setup process, you will be prompted to connect the bank account you use to pay your rent. Here is what you need to know about this connection:

  • It is read-only: Brick can only view your transaction history to identify when your rent payment leaves your account. We can never move your money, access your credentials, or make changes to your account.
  • We never touch your money: You do not pay your rent through the Brick app. Your landlord, letting agent, or housemate will receive their money exactly as they always have.
  • It is highly secure: Open banking is a secure financial standard regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and used by millions of people in the UK. Rently Solutions Limited (trading as Brick Rewards) is an FCA-registered agent (reference 1050454) of Moneyhub Financial Technology Limited.

By using open banking, we eliminate the friction of older rent reward schemes. You do not need to sign up for a new credit card, and you do not need to set up a brand-new intermediate bank account just to route your rent payments. You keep your existing bank, your existing payment dates, and your existing setup.

Step 3: Pay Your Rent as Normal and Earn Points Automatically

Once your bank account is connected, your job is done. There is absolutely no behaviour change required from you.

When your next rent day arrives, pay your rent exactly as you normally do—whether that is via standing order, direct debit, or a manual bank transfer to your landlord, letting agent, or lead housemate. Once the payment leaves your account, Brick’s open banking technology automatically detects and verifies the transaction. Your reward points are then added straight to your account.

Why Sign Up? The Benefits of Brick Rewards

Signing up for Brick Rewards unlocks a range of valuable benefits designed specifically for UK renters:

  • Earn points on rent automatically: Get recognized for the massive financial commitment you make every single month without having to lift a finger after setup.
  • Support your credit score: You can opt in to have your on-time rent payments reported to Experian. This positive payment history may help improve your credit score over time, making it easier to access better financial rates or move towards homeownership in the future.
  • Spend points on things you love: Redeem your points at local partner businesses (like cafes, restaurants, and fitness studios) or use them to part-pay for digital gift cards at a discount (for example, getting a £100 M&S gift card for just £90 plus 200 points).
  • Enter monthly rent giveaways: Use your points to buy entries into our monthly giveaways, where you could win a month's rent paid for you.

Is My Data Safe? Understanding Open Banking Security

We understand that connecting your bank account to an app requires trust. That is why Brick Rewards is built on top of the UK's strict open banking framework. We partner with Moneyhub, an FCA-regulated open banking provider, to ensure your data is always encrypted and handled with the highest level of security.

We will never sell your personal data, and we will never have access to your bank login details. The connection simply allows us to automate your rewards so you do not have to manually upload rent receipts or bank statements every month.
