Big news for renters and homeowners alike: Bilt Rewards and Venmo are teaming up to make paying your rent and mortgage easier than ever — and even more rewarding.
Starting in early 2026, Bilt Members will be able to pay rent, mortgage, and shop locally using Venmo — all while earning valuable Bilt Points along the way.
💳 What’s New: Venmo + Bilt Integration
Bilt and Venmo’s new partnership will expand how Venmo users manage everyday payments by adding housing payments and neighborhood purchases to the app experience.
Here’s what’s coming:
- Pay rent or mortgage directly through Venmo or the Bilt app
- Use your Venmo balance, linked bank account, debit card, or credit card
- Earn Bilt Points on eligible payments
- Split rent seamlessly with roommates
- Shop at local Bilt neighborhood merchants — think dining, shopping, and fitness classes
This new integration adds Venmo to Bilt’s existing payment methods (ACH, debit, and credit), giving members even more flexibility and convenience.
🏡 Why It Matters
This partnership bridges two massive ecosystems:
- Venmo, used by millions for social payments and everyday transactions
- Bilt Rewards, the only program that lets you earn points on rent and mortgage payments
Now, those worlds are coming together — letting you earn rewards for one of your biggest monthly expenses without extra hassle.
💬 What the Companies Are Saying
Diego Scotti, General Manager of Consumer at PayPal, said:
“Our partnership with Bilt marks a pivotal first step in our journey to bring everyday commerce directly into the Venmo experience. Millions of people already use Venmo to split rent with roommates and pay landlords — now we’re making that experience even more seamless and rewarding.”
Ankur Jain, Founder & CEO of Bilt, added:
“Venmo isn’t just a payment method—it’s how millions of people connect every day. By combining Venmo’s reach and simplicity with Bilt’s rewarding rent and commerce network, we’re giving renters more flexibility and value every single month.”
