Housemate by NatWest is a free app designed to assist individuals aged 17+ in the UK who share their living spaces with friends or strangers. Whether you're dealing with financial complexities or simply trying to keep track of expenses, Housemate aims to streamline the process and alleviate common problems that arise in shared accommodations.

One of the standout features of Housemate is its integration with Open Banking, allowing users to link their bank accounts and access the full functionality of the app, regardless of their banking provider. This enables easy in-app payments between housemates and synchronization of the latest transactions, ensuring everyone can participate equally.

The app also offers a clear and user-friendly interface for managing expenses. Users can add expenses directly from their bank accounts, view their transaction history, and even utilize GIF reminders to gently remind housemates to settle outstanding payments.

In addition to facilitating seamless financial management, Housemate offers the option to recognize rent payments through its partnership with Experian. By adding rent payments to your credit history, Housemate aims to make it easier for lenders to identify you in the future. The app also provides a "Credit Score Checklist" to help users improve their credit scores, potentially leading to more affordable lending opportunities down the line.

With Housemate by NatWest, simplify your shared living experience and take control of your finances with ease.
