| At Occupi, we are helping landlords and property managers enable financial optionality for everyday tenants. Our platform facilitates rental payments that will post directly to the property manager's general ledger. Our screening and payment tools integrate into their existing workflow and software. Our platform eliminates the frustration andexpenses associated with processing cash or money orders. We have partnered with cash-based financial services, such as Cash App, Chime, Venmo/Paypal, and traditional offerings (ACH and credit/debit cards) to ensure tenants have options they already trust to submit their rent payments any time. For screening, we have a quick credit and background screening process that also allows us to screen using ITINs for international residents.
