What if paying rent could bring you closer to owning a home?
At nesti, we’re on a mission to turn rent from a never-ending expense into a powerful financial tool.
nesti is an app that turns your rent into a stepping stone toward owning your first home. When you pay rent through the app, you build a trusted record (rent score) that can help you qualify for rent-to-own homes or affordable home loans (coming soon) in the future. Plus, you can start saving for your deposit by opening a money market account through Sanlam Investment East Africa, a licensed fund manager.
This is not just another rent payment app, it’s your homeownership coach in your pocket.
