Company mission

Homeppl creates financial inclusion. We bring equality of opportunity to consumers of financial and property products, and allow businesses to safely transact with more consumers. We started in the rental market, giving tenants the opportunity to rent on fair terms, whilst keeping our clients safe from fraud or defaults. We work with the best brands in the UK, such as Knight Frank, JLL and Chestertons.

Our take

Homeppl was founded by Alexander Siedes, who experienced the unfair reality of the rental market firsthand when moving to the UK for his studies. He drew on his experience working in military intelligence in Israel to develop the Homeppl platform. The company leverages open banking, proprietary behavioural analysis, and fraud detection tests to assess the financial situation of the potential tenants and their ability to afford rent.

Working with its partners, such as JLL, Chesterton and Quintain, Homeppl’s solution aims to bring equality of opportunity to renters while allowing their partners to safely transact with consumers.

In 2021 they saw significant growth as lockdown measures eased across the UK, Homeppl protected its clients from potential losses of more than £3 million. With international movement slowly showing signs of recovery, the rental market is undergoing signs of evolution as the market embraces a post-COVID reality, and any increases in rental demands will likely benefit Homeppl.
