Sure, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based provider of SaaS infrastructure to distribute, service, and scale digital insurance, has announced a partnership with Esusu (New York), a provider of a financial technology platform leveraging rent reporting for credit building, to offer renters insurance through the Esusu Renters Marketplace.
Wayne Slavin, Co-Founder and CEO, Sure.
Esusu reports on-time rent payments to the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Transunion, and Experian) to establish and boost credit scores for residents and is now using Sure’s digital insurance infrastructure to provide renters insurance to the millions of Americans without access to the financial system. Through the partnership, Sure is deploying its technology to help achieve better financial outcomes for the underserved communities Esusu supports.

“Esusu is the epitome of a mission-driven company, helping those that are underserved in the financial system build financial stability through opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have,” comments Wayne Slavin, co-founder and CEO, Sure. “Using Sure’s embedded insurance APIs, Esusu is now able to seamlessly add renters insurance to its suite of services available to underserved communities who want to achieve financial wellness. We are proud to support Esusu’s mission and excited to see how many lives we can touch through our partnership.”
