Our take
More people are renting than ever before, and prices keep going up. Jetty’s aim is to help renters save money from the day they move in, and each month along the way.
What sets Jetty apart is the range of services included on its platform. The company started out as just Insurtech, offering simplified and financially accessible renters’ insurance and a monthly alternative to large, upfront deposits. But the inclusion of its ‘Buy-Now-Pay-Later’ rent payment scheme rounds the company into a more holistic money-saving option for modern renters.
The company has partnered with large property management firms like Cortland, as well as smaller property owners, giving it an edge over its competitors. It has also raised considerable funding, the latest of which it has invested in product expansion. In 2022, the company launched Jetty Credit, a service that reports rent payments to credit bureaus and builds the credit history of renters - another innovation towards making the financial lives of renters easier.
