Take control of your
biggest expense
Pay rent on your schedule. Pay by credit card or e-Transfer - your choice. No change to how your landlord gets paid.
Your Rent,
Your Schedule
You’ve always had to pay rent on the 1st because that works best for your landlord. We figured there should be a way for you to pay how and when you want. So we built it.
No Need to Involve
Your Landlord
No change to how your landlord gets paid, so no need to have them sign up or agree to anything. You make payments when it works for you, and your landlord gets paid when rent is due.
Earn Points on Your Biggest Expense
Pay rent by credit card and collect more points, book more flights, or earn more cash back. Whatever your reward, get there a whole lot faster than one coffee at a time.
This is how it should have
worked all along
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chroma?
Chroma is an app for renters and small landlords. As a renter, pay rent on your schedule, by e-Transfer or credit card (your choice), with no change to how your landlord gets paid. As you pay rent, you build your ‘Renter Passport’ - a personal renting history that you can keep and share to save time and hassle when applying to rent your next place.

When you pay rent by e-Transfer or credit card with Chroma, you fund your ‘Chroma wallet’ - a secure, dedicated account that stores your money - and we automatically forward the funds to your landlord on the day rent is due. Doing it this way allows you to pay rent on your schedule and get access to a history of your rent payments
Read more...Does my landlord need an account?
Nope! You can sign up on your own, whether or not your landlord uses Chroma to manage their rental properties. (If they don’t, feel free to mention us to them!)
Read more...Free?! What’s the catch?
No catch! Through our app, you have access to products and services to help you throughout your renting life (check out the ‘Marketplace’ section once you’re logged in). We fund our business by way of the partnerships you see there.

Read more...How do I pay by Interac e-Transfer through Chroma?
When you pay rent by e-Transfer or credit card with Chroma, you fund your ‘Chroma wallet’
- a secure, dedicated account that stores your money - and we automatically forward the
funds to your landlord. Doing it this way allows you to pay rent on your schedule and get
access to a history of your rent payments.
To make a payment, select “+ New Payment” (or ‘Pay Now’, for a payment that was scheduled
in advance). Follow the prompts and we'll provide a button/link that will take you to log
into your online banking, where instead of setting up an e-Transfer from scratch, you'll
just be prompted to confirm a payment to Chroma.
Can Chroma help me build my credit score?
Not yet but we're working on being able to help you build credit by paying rent on time. Stay tuned!
