Flex is a growth-stage, NYC headquartered FinTech company that is creating the best rent payment experience.

Flex enables our users to pay rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances and budget.
Our mission is to empower as many renters as possible with flexibility over their most significant recurring expense.
