Partner with Paynific
We let UK renters pay rent by card while their landlord receives a normal bank transfer. We’re starting with the African diaspora: people who pay rent here, support family there, and are rarely the customer anyone designs for.
Who we serve
A large, recently settled, mostly renting community, now several years into UK life with credit histories and credit cards of its own.
- UK Health and Care visas approved for Nigerian nationals, 2020–2024, including dependants
- 149,299
- The same route for Zimbabwean nationals, 2020–2024, including dependants
- 92,960
- UK study visas granted to Nigerians in 2025, the fourth-largest nationality
- 30,204

Who we’re looking for
Payment partners
FCA-authorised card acquiring and Faster Payments payouts to landlords who don't onboard, with Confirmation of Payee and support for an agent or distributor model.
Rewards partners
Money transfer, airlines and travel, and African food and grocery brands that want to reach renters who pay a large bill every month and send money home.
Property and letting partners
Build-to-rent operators and letting agents who want residents to pay on time and stay longer, with a benefit their residents value.
Investors
We're building the rent-and-rewards relationship for a community the big players haven't designed for.
Where we are
- Live now: customer accounts and rent setup, including landlord bank details and pricing.
- Next: integration with an FCA-authorised payment partner to switch on card payments.
- Then: our first rewards partners for money transfer, travel and food.
