InsurTech Sure and FinTech Esusu collaborate on rental insurance

By Gloria Methri

Digital insurance provider Sure has partnered with FinTech Esusu to offer renters insurance through the Esusu Renters Marketplace. Esusu reports timely rental payments to three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Transunion and Experian) to establish and increase resident credit scores.

It will now use Sure’s digital insurance infrastructure to provide renters insurance to Americans who are locked out of the financial system. Through the partnership, Sure will deploy its technology to contribute to better economic outcomes for the underserved communities supported by Esusu.

Wayne Slavinco-founder and managing director of Sure said, “Using Sure’s built-in insurance APIs, Esusu is now able to seamlessly add rental insurance to its suite of services available to underserved communities looking to achieve financial wellness. We are proud to support Esusu’s mission and excited to see how many lives we can touch through our partnership.”

The Esusu Renters Marketplace was built to unlock the resources that make renting easier with a hand-picked list of services and programs focused on financial support and wellness. In collaboration with Sure, Esusu can now offer tenants a frictionless, end-to-end digital experience for rental insurance.

“We are delighted to partner with Sure and bring a differentiated offering to our communities,” said Wemimo Abbey and Samir Goelco-founders and co-managing directors of Esusu. “Certainly understands the win-win-win proposition that has a positive impact on tenants’ lives, improves asset performance and contributes to society at large by stimulating financial mobility. By working with InsurTech, Esusu is able to offer holistic financial resources which complements our existing platform to drive credit and wealth building. By integrating Sure into the Esusus Renters Marketplace, we are taking a significant step forward in providing a one-stop shop for residents’ financial health.”
