When you first connect, we can verify up to 24 months of rent you have already paid. Most people join with a points balance already sitting there.

This is arithmetic on the rent you enter, nothing more. Points have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money. What you earn depends on the payments we verify.

In short

What is Occubuy?

Occubuy is a free Australian app that pays you points for the rent you already pay. Keep paying rent the way you do now. We verify it, and you earn points on every payment. Spend them in the catalogue, or on a property rebate at settlement when you buy. Since launching the app in 2023, we have grown to 20,000+ enrolled members across Australia.

Points have no cash value. They are not money, a deposit or an investment, and you cannot transfer them. There are no fees and no lock-ins. Your bank data comes through Australia's Consumer Data Right, collected by an accredited provider with your consent.

Rent gives you nothing back.
We think that should change.

You already pay rent every week. Thousands of dollars, year after year, with nothing to show for it. We change that. Every payment we verify earns you points.

Spend them in the catalogue, or on a rebate at settlement when you buy.

Real renters. Real progress.

Australians who already earn points on the rent they were paying anyway.

You might as well get something back, because paying rent is something we all have to do on a weekly basis.
