Case Study: Related Affordable helps residents build credit and access loans with Esusu

Thousands of Related Affordable residents access first-time credit scores, student loans, and mortgages through Esusu partnership

Related Affordable, one of the largest private owners of affordable housing in the US, faced the challenge of providing scalable and impactful financial services to its diverse resident base. They needed an innovative partner to help residents, many of whom were excluded from traditional financial systems, build wealth and improve their financial stability. They partnered with Esusu to address this critical need.

By implementing Esusu's rent reporting service across its entire portfolio, Related Affordable enabled residents to build credit histories through their on-time rental payments. The results were significant: Esusu helped establish over 102,000 first-time credit scores, with an average score increase of 28 points. This financial empowerment led to tangible outcomes, including over 11,000 residents approved for credit cards, more than 2,600 car loans granted, and nearly 300 residents transitioning from renting to accessing mortgages.
