# Bilt

> Bilt is a New York financial-technology and loyalty company that rewards housing payments and connects residents with merchants, property managers and travel partners. Its consumer app handles rent and mortgage payments, points, credit reporting and local benefits; its partner platform gives housing operators and merchants payment, loyalty, marketing and hospitality tools. The unusual wedge is rent - a huge recurring expense that traditional card rewards largely ignored - but Bilt's larger ambition is to make the home the starting point for a neighborhood commerce network.
