Flexible Savings Options
At DepositPass, we offer flexibility to fit your financial situation. You can secure rental deposits using various types of savings products, including:
Standard Savings Accounts
With DepositPass, you can easily use any standard savings account from UK banks to secure your rental deposit. Your money remains in your account, continuing to earn interest while being assigned as a rental deposit. Simply assign the required deposit amount from your savings to the landlord. The funds stay in your account but are blocked for the rental period to cover any potential disputes, providing a seamless and secure solution for the landlord.
Life Insurance Savings Policies
DepositPass also allows you to utilise existing life insurance savings policies from UK life insurers as a secure deposit option. The funds remain secure in your policy but are blocked for the rental period to cover any potential disputes, providing a seamless and secure solution for the landlord. Assign a defined amount from your life savings policy to the landlord. The funds remain secure in your policy but are blocked for the rental period to cover any eventual disputes, providing a seamless and secure solution for the landlord.
Third-Party Savings Accounts
For tenants who may not have sufficient savings, DepositPass offers the flexibility to assign deposit amounts from savings accounts or life insurance savings of family members or friends.
