Esusu

Esusu is a financial technology company that turns rent payments into credit history. Founded in 2018 by Abbey Wemimo and Samir Goel and headquartered in New York City, Esusu reports on-time rental payments to the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) so renters can build and improve their credit scores. The platform serves renters, property owners and managers, employers, banks, and fintechs with rent reporting, credit building, rent relief, marketplace rewards, and income, identity, and SSN verification. For partners, Esusu offers embedded rent-reporting APIs, UI tools, and SDKs (behind a sandbox and self-service docs) so banks and fintechs can distribute rent reporting as a service. Backed by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and Serena Ventures, Esusu reached a $1.2 billion valuation in 2025 and reports across millions of rental units in all 50 US states.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Esusu the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Esusu scores 19.6/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Esusu

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Esusu. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
