MUFG Innovation Partners invested in Obligo, the fintech company that builds trust between renters and landlords in the United States
Nov 5, 2021 – MUFG Innovation Partners Co., Ltd. (MUIP), a corporate venture capital fund and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG), the leading global financial group of Japan, recently invested in Obligo – the fintech company that builds trust and streamlines the transaction process between renters and landlords in the United States.
Obligo’s platform uses Open Banking data and AI to determine a renter’s eligibility to rent deposit-free. Renters then proceed to make their move-in payments online, including a traditional security deposit if needed. At move-out, Obligo handles any end-of-lease deductions, refunding of deposits and billing the renter for any open charges. Obligo’s holistic product suite powers a trusted and streamlined rental experience.
The company has partnered with over 100 U.S. based property owners. Landlords and property managers use Obligo to simplify their move-in process, comply with the ever-changing regulatory landscape, and make their listings more appealing to renters.
The new funding will be used to expand its product suite, grow market share and bring industry-changing rental solutions to millions of homes across the United States. Through the investment, MUIP would support Obligo’s business growth and international expansion, and strategic partnership with MUFG.
