Pinch

Acquisition in 2018
Pinch is a company that facilitates the building of credit history through timely rent payments. By reporting these payments to credit bureaus, Pinch enables individuals to enhance their credit scores without incurring additional debt. Traditionally, paying rent did not influence credit scores, but recent changes in the industry recognize the reliability of tenants who consistently pay rent on time. Studies indicate that individuals who previously had no credit score can achieve one after their rent payments are reported, with a significant portion experiencing an increase in their credit ratings. This service allows users to improve their creditworthiness, thereby increasing their chances of obtaining loans and other financial products.
