Zonetail and FUTR Collab to Launch AI Rent Reporting Tool for Building Credit

A Toronto-based mobile platform targeting quality-of-life for high-rise residents in Canada has launched what it described as the country’s first AI-powered rent-reporting program.

Zonetail announced recently that it is working with The FUTR Corporation on the program, which enables renters to build credit and earn rewards through paying rent.

The company’s stated mission is to “provide a state-of-the-art mobile platform that enables high-rise residents to better manage their homes by connecting people to products, amenities, and services,” with an ultimate vision to become “the search engine to optimize your home.”

Rent reporting is therefore “a natural extension of Zonetail’s platform and a powerful way to deliver real financial value to residents,” suggests Mark Holmes, Chief Executive Officer of Zonetail.

Powered by FUTR’s AI Agent App, the program securely reports verified rent payments to credit bureaus while rewarding participants with FUTR Tokens for their data participation.

“Together with FUTR, we’re building an ecosystem that connects tenants, property managers, and local businesses through one smart, mobile experience,” said Holmes.

Tenants sign up through Zonetail, then FUTR’s AI Agent platform collects and submits verified rent-payment data to Equifax through Zonetail’s integrations with Yardi and Fortis Payments.

“With Zonetail, we’re making it easy for renters to get credit for what they already do—pay their rent on time,” stated Alex McDougall, President of The FUTR Corporation. “This is the first of many AI Agent-powered solutions that simplify life’s financial moments while rewarding consumers for their data.”

Millions of Canadians pay rent every month, and for a long time most have done so without getting much “credit” for it, so to speak.

“Recognizing on-time payments can help millions build credit and expand access to financial opportunity in a responsible way,” remarked Shawn Maidenberg, Head of Consumer Data Strategy, Equifax Canada.

Zonetail trades on the TSXV under the ticker symbol ZONE.
