How It Works

Simple by design.
Powerful by default.

Spread sits between you and your landlord. You choose how you pay each month. We make sure your landlord gets the full amount on the 1st, every time.

01

Connect your rental

Sign up and add your rental details: your address, landlord information, and monthly rent amount. Spread handles the rest.

Takes about 5 minutes. No landlord action required to get started.

02

Choose your payment option

Each month, select how you want to pay. Pay by credit card to earn rewards, or apply to split your rent over time if you need more flexibility.

You choose one option per rent cycle. Options cannot be combined.

03

We pay your landlord on the 1st

Spread transfers the full rent amount to your landlord on the 1st of the month, regardless of which payment option you choose.

Your landlord is always paid in full, on time. No exceptions.

04

You pay on your schedule, and build credit

If you paid by card, your credit card statement handles the rest. If you split rent, you pay Spread according to your agreed schedule. Either way, every on-time payment is reported to Canadian credit bureaus.

Manage everything from your Spread dashboard.

Payment Options

Two ways to pay.

Pay by credit card to earn rewards, or split your rent over the month for more control over your cash flow. Either way, your landlord is paid in full on the 1st.
