Esusu and Amazon to Bring Rent Reporting and Financial Well-Being to Tens of Thousands of Renters

Esusu and Amazon have partnered to help residents in Amazon-funded affordable housing communities build credit through on-time rent payments. The partnership extends Esusu’s renter financial health platform to affordable housing units across the Puget Sound, National Capital, and Nashville regions.

The partnership also gives residents access to Esusu’s broader renter financial health platform, including financial coaching, financial education, rent relief, tax filing support, and other renter resources designed to strengthen financial stability over time.

This collaboration builds on the Amazon Housing Equity Fund’s commitment to preserve and create affordable housing in the communities Amazon calls home. At the time of the announcement, that commitment was described as $3.6 billion supporting more than 35,000 affordable homes.

Esusu framed the partnership around its broader renter impact, including helping hundreds of thousands of renters establish a credit score for the first time and unlocking approximately $50 billion in credit activity and an average 45-point credit score increase for renters using the platform. Today, renters using Esusu’s rent reporting have seen an average 53‑point credit score increase.

More broadly, the partnership reflects how institutions, housing stakeholders, and private-sector platforms can work together to support financial stability in affordable housing communities. It also shows how rent reporting can be paired with wider renter support tools to strengthen long-term outcomes for residents.

“Together, Amazon and Esusu are setting a new standard for the role of institutions in the communities they operate in. We are proud to partner with Amazon to provide access to transformative opportunities for renters, enabling them to improve their financial well-being and ultimately unlock wealth creation,” said Esusu co-founders and co-CEOs Samir Goel and Wemimo Abbey. “We are committed to strengthening the economic and social fabric of our neighborhoods in partnership with Amazon and creating better outcomes for families nationwide.”
