Housemate by NatWest play online

Housemate is an app that makes splitting household bills and rent a piece of cake to avoid any disagreements with housemates. Whether youre part of a shared household, a student house share or a roommate, keep on top of things with automated reminders and easily split bills.

Having to share your space with friends - or even random strangers - is normal when you're renting. Housemate is here to help smooth out some of the problems that might crop up.

You dont need to be a customer of NatWest to use Housemate. If you have a UK bank account, Housemate can help make payments easier using Open Banking and even help you plan for the future by recognising your rent payments to build your history with our partner Experian.

How it works:

Clear record
Our app keeps things clear and simple. You can add expenses straight from your bank account, see your transaction history and if anyone you live with needs an *ahem* gentle cue to pay up our GIF reminders will save you from nagging.

Settle up seamlessly
Housemate helps you stay on top of who owes who with one complete list of transactions especially useful if youre on a tight budget. An easy way to settle up with the entire house, or to pay just one person you live with.

Build for the future
Its possible to recognise your rent payments with our partner Experian, adding them to your history and making it easier for lenders to identify you in the future. You can also take steps to improve your credit score by following our Credit score checklist, which could make lending more affordable in the future.

Link your bank
We use Open Banking to ensure that you and your housemates get the full Housemate functionality, regardless of who you bank with, so long as theyre Open Banking enabled; most banks are. Whether its in-app payments to each other or syncing your latest transactions, everyone is an equal in our house.

Housemate is a free app open to users aged 17+ across the UK (excluding the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland). Users must have a UK bank account and an iOS compatible device. Open Banking is available for selected UK banks and account types only. You need to be registered for your own banks online banking. The rent recognition feature is only open to those residing in England or Wales.
