Zenbase + Fortress OS
Rent reporting to both Canadian bureaus, and split rent payments that still pay you in full on time.
Updated · 3 min read
What is the Zenbase + Fortress OS integration?
Zenbase helps Canadian renters build credit and manage cash flow. Its rent reporting sends payment history to both Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada. Its split rent product lets a renter pay in instalments across the month while Zenbase pays the landlord the full rent up front.
Key takeaways
Rent payment history reports to Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada.
Renters split rent across the month, and Zenbase pays you the full amount up front.
On-time payment starts counting toward a resident's credit file.
How does Zenbase work with Fortress OS?
Fortress OS sits underneath your stack as the operating layer. When something changes in Zenbase, Fortress picks it up and pushes it to the other systems that care. No double entry. No end-of-month reconciling. No spreadsheets stitching things together.
What data flows between the two?
The exact fields depend on the payments use case. The goal is simple: both systems show the same truth. Records, statuses, and key events stay in sync. Your team is not the human glue between them.
Who handles the setup?
Our integrations team handles documentation exchange, API keys, and end-to-end testing. Most Zenbase connections go live in a few weeks. You can request a setup any time.
Why should you connect Zenbase to Fortress OS?
Rent is the largest payment most residents make and the one that has never counted toward their credit. Reporting it gives residents a reason to pay on time, and splitting the payment removes the cash-flow crunch that causes a lot of late rent in the first place.
What changes once you connect Zenbase?
Same payments tool. Different day-to-day for your team.
| Daily task | Without the integration | With Fortress OS + Zenbase |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping records in sync | Copy-paste between tabs, hope you got the numbers right. | Records match across both systems on their own. |
| End-of-month reconciling | Spreadsheet exports, manual cleanup, late nights. | Numbers already line up. Close the month, go home. |
| Onboarding new properties | Manual setup in Zenbase and every other system. | Fortress provisions the connection so new sites pick it up. |
| Answering “what’s the truth?” | Open three tabs, compare, guess which one is current. | One source of truth, kept fresh by Fortress. |
