How Can I Earn Rewards on My Rent?

Yes, you can earn rewards simply by paying your rent on time with Brick Rewards. Unlike other programmes that require you to change how or where you pay, Brick Rewards works seamlessly with your existing rent payment method. By connecting your bank account securely via open banking, Brick automatically detects your rent payments and awards points without any extra effort from you.

How Brick Rewards Detects Your Rent Payments Safely

Brick Rewards uses open banking technology to verify your rent payments. This means you connect your bank account to the app with read-only access — Brick cannot move money or handle payments. When your rent payment leaves your account, Brick detects it securely and awards points automatically. Open banking is regulated by the FCA and is a trusted, secure standard used by millions across the UK.

Earn Points Automatically for On-Time Rent Payments

Every time you pay your rent on time, Brick Rewards recognises this and awards points directly to your account. There’s no need to change your payment method or pay rent through the app — just continue paying your landlord, letting agent, or housemate as usual. The points add up over time, helping you get more value from your monthly rent payments.

Build Your Credit Score by Reporting Rent Payments

One of the unique benefits of Brick Rewards is that it can help you build your credit score. By opting in, Brick reports your on-time rent payments to Experian, one of the UK’s main credit reference agencies. This positive payment data may help demonstrate your reliability to lenders and could improve your credit score over time — especially useful if you have a thin credit file or are working towards homeownership.

Bonus Points from Shopping with Brick Partners

In addition to earning points on your rent, Brick Rewards lets you collect bonus points when you shop with partner businesses. These include local cafes, restaurants, gyms, salons, and more. The app uses your location to show nearby partners where you can earn extra rewards, unlocking special benefits and exclusive events.

Getting started is simple. Download the Brick Rewards app for free on iOS or Android, then connect your bank account securely via open banking.
