Bilt Rewards is a payments and commerce network headquartered in New York City that was founded by Ankur Jain in 2019 and officially launched in 2021. The company operates as the first loyalty platform enabling consumers to earn valuable rewards on rent and homeowners association payments, transforming the largest monthly household expense into poi... nts that can be redeemed for travel, shopping, and future down payments toward homeownership. Bilt has established the Bilt Rewards Alliance, a network encompassing one in four apartment buildings across the United States, representing more than 4.5 million residential units through partnerships with major property owners and managers including Greystar, AvalonBay, Equity Residential, Related Companies, Starwood, Cushman & Wakefield, Brookfield, and many others. The platform has expanded beyond rent to include a comprehensive neighborhood rewards program, partnering with over 40,000 local merchants including restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and fitness studios nationwide. Bilt members can transfer points on a one-to-one basis to an extensive network of airline and hotel partners, book travel through the Bilt travel portal with over 500 airlines and 700,000 hotel properties, use points for everyday purchases on platforms like Amazon and Lyft, or apply them toward home down payments. The company processes over 45 billion dollars in annual payments and has achieved more than 5 million members. Bilt Rewards reached a valuation of 10.75 billion dollars in 2025 and is chaired by Kenneth Chenault, former CEO of American Express, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell serving as an independent board director. The company has expanded into student housing through partnerships with American Campus Communities and into mortgage payments through collaboration with United Wholesale Mortgage, creating a comprehensive ecosystem that connects housing payments with neighborhood commerce while building paths to homeownership.Read More
