In the real estate industry, where discussions increasingly revolve around social and environmental concerns, Pensio Global (Pensio) stands as a beacon of commitment to actively shape a more sustainable future for property owners, property managers (landlords), and tenants alike.
In 2015, UN Member States collectively embraced seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, uniting in their pursuit to safeguard the health and well-being of both the planet and its inhabitants. Aligned with these UN objectives and recognizing the urgent need to attain them, Pensio Global embarked on a bold and unique action plan in 2023 to contribute significantly to these global aspirations.
Monitoring economic indicators (KPIs) is crucial as it aligns with our mission to provide targeted support and institutional-level reporting. Understanding people's economic situations allows us to tailor effective solutions, fostering financial stability and positively impacting lives. It reflects our commitment to delivering impactful and relevant services that address real-world needs.
We care about people's economic situation.
Addressing a void around residential tenant qualifications and security deposits, Pensio has developed unique solutions. While our focus is specifically on tenant qualifications and cashless security deposits, our strategic approach has a broader impact. In 2016, four billion people lacked social protection, and Pensio responded by empowering tenants and their families. Our safety net, tailored for challenges in qualifications and security deposits, not only bridges a critical gap but also significantly reduces evictions. This focused strategy actively reshapes the narrative around tenant qualifications and cashless security deposits, making Pensio an industry leader for support and stability in the housing landscape.
Pensio focuses on keeping families in their homes.
In essence, we strive to build communities where housing catalyzes broader life success.

Access to stable employment not only supports financial well-being but also enhances overall quality of life. Our focus contributes to affordable and quality housing, fostering stability and positive personal and economic growth.

This comprehensive approach ensures that our initiatives not only provide shelter but also contribute to creating an environment where individuals can thrive, striking a balance between housing stability and broader life opportunities.

We care about inequality.
Living paycheck to paycheck exposes tenants to inequalities, especially in the face of life's uncertainties and the looming risk of eviction. This precarious situation amplifies disparities rooted in income, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, class, ethnicity, religion, and opportunities. Fostering a more equitable society necessitates addressing these challenges, and Pensio actively contributes by recognizing the importance of a consistent rent payment history over the credit score. Emphasizing responsibility amid financial challenges, Pensio's approach aligns to mitigate deeply entrenched inequalities in various aspects of individuals' lives by rewarding good rent payment behavior.

The consequences of poorly planned urbanization have far-reaching impacts on every citizen, manifesting in unrest, insecurity, and pollution. Such conditions detrimentally affect the physical and mental health of individuals and subsequently impact workers' productivity, thereby influencing the overall economy.

Our Commitment Goes To Change
At Pensio, our commitment extends beyond providing assured rent payments to landlords. We are dedicated to creating a positive social impact within the real estate sector. Our tenant qualification process is designed to prioritize factors such as consistent rent payment history over traditional credit scores, recognizing that financial challenges can be unrelated to housing stability.
Moreover, our innovative cashless security deposit structure aims to reduce financial barriers for tenants, allowing them to manage their finances more effectively. We understand that many tenants face challenges meeting deposit requirements, and our approach is geared toward fostering financial well-being.
By focusing on these principles, we not only provide landlords with a reliable income stream but also contribute to the stability of rental markets. This, in turn, supports our broader mission of creating vibrant and sustainable communities. Pensio is committed to addressing the needs of both property owners and tenants, ensuring that housing is not just a transaction but a positive force for societal well-being.
Changing the Way We Measure a Tenant's Qualifications
Our tenant qualification process stands apart as it does not solely rely on credit scores. Instead, it places a stronger emphasis on rewarding rental history behavior. This is at the core of Pensio's vision which embraces our conviction that every individual should have access to secure and safe housing.
Our rental history behavioral approach acknowledges that individuals may face credit-related issues outside of their housing commitments and values their long-term rent and housing behavior over their overall credit history. Even those with low credit scores, stemming from non-housing factors such as car loans or credit lines, can be approved based on a consistent and dependable rent payment history spanning the past three years.
By challenging and rectifying the overuse of credit scoring in rental home management, we aim to tip the playing field in favor of those with good rent payment history. It is crucial to distinguish between tenant qualification based on overall credit behavior and our position, which advocates for a set of qualification standards excluding credit history. We firmly believe that this shift will reduce eviction incidents. This conviction is the driving force behind providing landlords with risk management services and guarantee products, fostering a removal of credit scores as a factor for approval and replacing it with a more impactful set of qualification standards. When tenants are approved to rent through this approach, they are better positioned to meet their obligations, removing barriers, and understanding tenant behavior is our overarching goal—a significant step toward positive social impact.
Our role extends beyond that of a mere risk management service and guarantor; we are a driving force for positive change in the lives of tenants. Through our platform, tenants not only secure affordable and accessible cashless security deposits—providing significant relief, often saving them thousands of dollars—but also benefit from a distinctive tenant qualification process.
This proactive strategy endeavors to create a meaningful difference in the lives of both tenants and landlords, fostering a profound sense of security and stability that transcends the transactional aspects of renting.

Our holistic approach seamlessly aligns with our vision of creating enduring positive impacts in the realm of housing accessibility. By addressing housing access issues and alleviating the pressures of eviction through innovative services, Pensio aspires to contribute significantly to the development of vibrant and sustainable communities.
Cashless Security Deposits: A Step Towards Affordability
Our AssuredTenant product eliminates the need for traditional security deposits, reducing the financial burden on tenants during the initial stages of their lease. This innovative approach enhances housing affordability and accessibility, particularly for those facing a lack of current financial resources. By embracing cashless security deposits, Pensio contributes to breaking down financial barriers to housing, making it more inclusive for a diverse range of individuals and families.
Redefining What Makes a Tenant Qualification to Rent
Landlords can confidently rely on the support of our comprehensive risk management services and guarantees. We have redefined tenant qualifications, moving away from undue reliance on credit scores and prioritizing rental history behavior as a primary qualification factor. We acknowledge that the circumstances faced by tenants, including the reality of living paycheck to paycheck for nearly 80% of them, do not necessarily mirror their housing behavior.
With insights derived from over 20 years of industry analysis, we have consistently observed that a tenant's unwavering commitment to their housing obligations is often reflected in a consistent rent payment history. This holistic approach not only empowers landlords with valuable insights into the unique qualities each tenant brings to the community but also fosters an inclusive environment that values stability and reliability over traditional credit assessments. With our risk management services and guarantees, we provide landlords the assurance they need to navigate this tenant-focused paradigm shift, promoting a sense of unity and cooperation within the community, where empathy and mutual support thrive.
Positive Impact
Choosing Pensio is not just a business decision; it's a shared commitment to positive social impact for landlords and tenants alike. By embracing our approach of redefining tenant qualifications and moving away from undue reliance on credit scores, we are collectively contributing to building a future where housing becomes a source of stability, dignity, and empowerment for everyone. Landlords benefit from the support of our risk management services and guarantees, allowing them to confidently navigate this paradigm shift. Tenants, on the other hand, gain access to affordable and accessible cashless security deposits, coupled with a unique tenant qualification process that values their housing behavior over conventional credit assessments. This shared commitment creates a ripple effect, fostering a more inclusive and sustainable housing ecosystem where the well-being and empowerment of individuals are prioritized.
In this endeavor, we all have to remember that every shoe fits on every foot, emphasizing the need to recognize tenant behavior in the context of their housing commitments. This understanding forms the basis of our holistic approach, ensuring that our efforts resonate with the diverse needs of both landlords and tenants.
