Flex splits your bills into smaller, stress-free payments throughout the month. Start today with your rent bill!
About us
Flex is a simple app that’s changing the way the world pays and collects rent. Our technology makes the 1st of the month easy for renters and properties. For renters, we pay the rent on the 1st and let you pay it back when it works better for your budget. We help you buy some time (or whatever else you’re eyeing). For properties, we help you collect more and stress less. And we do the previously impossible by turning rent collection into a marketable amenity. WHAT WE STAND FOR •We believe you should be able to choose when you pay your bills. The flexibility of buy-now-pay-later has forever changed the way the world makes purchases. We believe the same flexibility should be available for one of life’s #1 expenses: rent. •We believe in the win-win. We like helping people keep commitments. With our technology, properties get the rent and renters get the time. The future is flexible. •We believe in the end of rent regret. Sharing human spaces used to be easier. But then payment came into the picture and rent regret was born. The worst part of rent regret is that it separates us from each other. We’re committed to solving rent regret forever.

Flex was built to give renters more control over their housing costs, especially during moments of uncertainty. Through our Federal Employee Relief Program, we are waiving membership fees for eligible federal employees and contractors who pay rent through Flex in November. Active duty military members never pay a Flex membership fee for as long as they continue to serve. Supporting those who serve the public is part of our mission to strengthen renter stability nationwide. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNRTM2wW

Behind every delayed paycheck is someone trying to keep their home secure. Flex is helping federal employees, contractors, and military members stay on top of rent through this shutdown Proud to be part of a mission that puts stability first 💜

Proud to share this article in Federal News Network highlighting Flex’s new program supporting federal employees, contractors, and active-duty military members during the ongoing government shutdown. When paychecks are delayed, even for a few weeks, rigid rent schedules can trigger cascading financial stress. Flex helps renters align payments with their income so they can stay current on rent and avoid unnecessary hardship. It’s encouraging to see national attention on how fintech can strengthen financial stability and housing resilience for public servants who keep the country running — even in moments of uncertainty.

Rent is still due even when paychecks are delayed. Flex helps renters split rent into smaller, more manageable payments. During the shutdown, we are waiving the membership fee for eligible federal employees and contractors who pay rent through Flex in November. This is one way Flex helps renters stay current and avoid financial penalties during income disruptions. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gNV-Guzf
