Venmo and Bilt are forming a new partnership that will allow Bilt members to pay rent and upcoming mortgage payments directly within the Venmo app starting in early 2026.
Instead of just sending money to friends, Venmo will now be able to handle rent, mortgage, and neighborhood merchant purchases, thanks to Bilt’s network.
Here’s what you need to know about this new function.

Bilt currently lets members pay rent at more than 5 million apartments nationwide, earning Bilt Rewards points without transaction fees when using a linked bank account. Mortgage payments are not supported at this time, though they’re slated to be added in early 2026.
With this integration, Bilt members will be able to make rent (and later, mortgage) payments through Venmo using their Venmo balance or any linked payment methods.
The partnership also covers everyday purchases. Bilt has a network of about 45,000 neighborhood businesses — places like cafés, gyms, pharmacies, and local restaurants — and those merchants will be able to accept Venmo once the rollout begins. So if you already use Venmo often, more of your routine spending may take place in the same app.
For those who focus on maximizing points and rewards, this shift may be significant. Bilt already offers the ability to earn points on rent and neighborhood spending (depending on payment method and account setup).
The details on how rewards will apply to payments made specifically through Venmo have not been fully detailed yet, and fees — especially for using a credit card through Venmo — will be a key factor to watch.
If you’re a Bilt Rewards member — and it’s free to join if you aren’t — it’s worth waiting before adjusting how you pay your rent or mortgage. The key thing to watch is whether payments made through Venmo earn points in the same way they do in the Bilt app and whether using a credit card through Venmo incurs any additional fees.
This new Bilt-Venmo partnership doesn’t change anything today. The rollout is expected in early 2026. But it’s a notable development for anyone who pays rent or will be paying a mortgage and is interested in consolidating payments or potentially earning rewards on large recurring expenses.
So far, we don’t know the key details, such as the fee structure, eligible payment methods, and how rewards will be applied across both apps. For now, consider this a feature to watch, rather than one to act on immediately.
