Venmo and Bilt Partnership
Bilt has launched a new partnership with Venmo for rent payments, mortgage repayments, and neighborhood offerings.
From early 2026, Bilt Members will have a new way to not only pay their rent and mortgage, but also to shop at Bilt neighborhood merchants. Venmo adds to Bilt’s existing payment options of ACH, debit, and any linked credit card.
Members will be able to make housing payments directly in the Bilt app, or within Venmo using their Venmo balance or linked payment methods, and benefit from the same during everyday activities like dining, shopping, and fitness classes.
The two companies have not shared many details on how the process will work. They said the partnership will commence in early 2026, which is about the same time when Bilt will switch to Cardless as its credit card issuer.
“Our partnership with Bilt marks a pivotal first step in our journey to bring everyday commerce directly into the Venmo experience,” said Diego Scotti, General Manager of Consumer at PayPal. “Millions of people already use Venmo to split rent with roommates and pay their landlords, now we’re making that experience even more seamless and rewarding. We’re thrilled to partner with a company that shares our relentless focus on innovation and the customer. Together, we’re redefining what’s possible when social payments meet everyday life.”
“Venmo is one of the most relevant and trusted payment experiences in America, so bringing it into the Bilt ecosystem is a game-changer for our members,” said Ankur Jain, Founder & CEO of Bilt. “Venmo isn’t just a payment method—it’s how millions of people connect and engage with each other every day. By combining Venmo’s reach, simplicity, and social connectivity with Bilt’s rewarding rent and neighborhood commerce network, we’re giving millions of renters more flexibility with how they pay and more value every single month. This is exactly the kind of innovation that moves our industry forward.”
