Since embedding april’s Filer in 2023, Esusu has grown rapidly to become the all-in-one credit-building platform for renters and property managers. The companies are expanding their partnership, and Esusu will now be launching the Esusu Tax Hub, embedding both april’s Filer and Estimator into their mobile app.

Millions of renters have access to Esusu’s suite of financial tools, including the ability to translate their rent payments into better credit. Members have seen an average credit score increase of 46 points, which helps them when applying for loans and mortgages later on.

In addition to credit building, Esusu recently launched the dedicated Tax Hub within the Esusu app for filing and year-round tax estimation powered by april. Filing will be free for renters in Esusu Communities, helping renters avoid hidden fees and upsells that are common across other online tax prep solutions. And because many renters enter tax season uncertain about whether they’ll get a refund or owe taxes, april’s Estimator gives them a clearer financial picture year-round. Like all taxpayers that file with april, Esusu members will also get access to a maximum refund guarantee, an AI-powered experience that reduces the number of questions required, and seamless document upload with image recognition.

“Esusu is committed to empowering renters nationwide with access to quality financial resources,” said Wemimo Abbey, Co-Founder of Esusu. “Our partnership with april highlights ways we can use the latest technology to equip everyday people with tools they need to own their financial future. With april, we’re using an AI-powered experience to make tax filing simpler and more transparent for renters and ensuring they get the maximum refund they are owed, at no cost to them.”

“We share a common goal with Esusu as we’re both on a mission to provide capabilities historically reserved for the privileged few to everyone,” said Ben Borodach, CEO and Co-Founder of april. “For us, it’s about simple and stress-free tax filing. For Esusu, it’s about credit-building. For Americans, it’s two big leaps forward.”
