In a country where a person’s credit score determines their financial future, Esusu is helping put people on the map. The company helps individuals improve their credit profile by reporting their timely rent payments to the major credit bureaus, while leaving out any late or missed payments. In the first year of an initiative with the government-sponsored mortgage firm Freddie Mac, Esusu helped more than 27,000 people establish credit scores, and it increased participants’ average scores by 46 points. It currently services over 1 million renters across all 50 states. Through a partnership with 501(c)(3) public charity organization Stable Home Fund, Esusu also provides eligible renters who’ve had an economic setback with up to three months of rental assistance. Esusu’s $130 million funding round in 2022 made the fintech company one of the few Black-owned unicorns in the world, with a $1 billion valuation.
