Founded in 2019, Flex is a NYC-based FinTech startup that is building the infrastructure to enable flexible bill payments for all Americans. Our mission is to enable you to choose the days that you pay your critical bills, and stop worrying about making payments and having funds on days that don’t work for you. We are starting with a very common and very large expense: rent! Flex enables its users to pay their rent throughout the month on a schedule that better fits their finances, rather than paying the full amount on the first of each month. This prevents tenants from constantly getting hit with overdraft fees, late payment fees, and dings to their credit scores.
