## About the product

nesti is a rent-data and fintech platform for African renters and property managers that converts verified, on-time rent payments into a **RentScore** that can support credit access and housing pathways.

Key capabilities include:
- **Rent payments in-app**: Pay rent directly and securely to a landlord through the app, creating a verified record of rent behaviour.
- **Automatic rent history tracking**: Track rental payment history over time and build a bank-recognised rental credit profile based on consistent payments.
- **Credit and housing access using RentScore**: Use the **RentScore** as an alternative credit signal to support applications for **personal loans**, **business credit**, **home financing**, and **rent-to-own opportunities**.
- **Property manager screening and risk tools**: Screen tenants using real payment behaviour, standardize onboarding across units, reduce arrears risk, and support placement decisions with **audit-ready data**.

Available via **Android**, **iOS**, and informational **Web** pages.

It primarily serves **entrepreneurs, freelancers, contractors, and gig workers** who may lack payslip-based credit files, and secondarily supports **property managers, landlords, and developers** that need consistent tenant screening and rent-risk assessment.

Notable in the African context, it positions rent, often a large share of monthly income, as a usable financial signal for people earning outside traditional employment, with operations linked to **RENTSCORE AFRICA LIMITED** in Nairobi, Kenya and a deposit-saving option supported through a money market partnership with **Sanlam Investment East Africa**.
