Using Obligo was so easy and quick!
Using Obligo was so easy and quick, which is important in today's housing market! I love that I didn't have to worry about a security deposit and that I could safely pay my move-in costs with the click of a button!

First time I used Obligo
First time I used Obligo. They were great so easy to use. Similar to checking into a hotel. Highly recommend
Quick & Easy!
Obligo was quick and easy to use. My husband and I make decent money, but struggled with the idea of putting over $3k down as a deposit on a rental house since we don’t have a huge savings account. Obligo approved us within minutes for no deposit. You do have to pay quite a service fee (ours was nearly $500) but that made the most sense for our situation. It may not be for everyone, but if you don’t have a large savings account built up, this is a huge help!
I really enjoyed using Obligo
I really enjoyed using Obligo! At first I was a little concerned singing into my bank account on there site. But they really supported me through the process and helped me get my free deposit of $1000 I saved!!! You guys rock!

This was my first time using their services and they were very helpful in securing my apartment application. If using their platform were an option in my future I would use them again! They were especially very prompt in response to my questions and concerns.

Using obligo allows me to not worry about the deposit of the house knowing that my money is safe, the sign in is very easy and user friendly, they give you a lot of information and explain it all, starting with a video what makes it very easy for first time users
New to this
This is my first time being introduced to this. Never seen but it something Im interested in & like to work with for the future.
Excellent service
I have no issues while completing my application. I look forward to enjoying the services they are providing. Thank you so much for the help.
I couldn’t believe it
I couldn’t believe it that I didn’t have to give my deposit to lock it in bank for a year!
great idea to let renters keep deposit money and only charge you if you made any damages when you leave!
Love it! I will recommend it to all my friends
Easy and cost effective
A great option to keep cash on hand. Fair price and simple to set up. Only wish they had been notified before the first month's rent was deducted.
Fast reply’s and lots of help!
They were extremely fast at replying and answering all of my questions, once we did the application we got an approval the same day! They are great! Highly recommend!

had great experince, fast and easy to deal with their website.
Obligo is awesome!
Obligo felt super easy-to-use. The interface was clean, the functionality easy to understand, and it was clear there were no-string-attached. It felt just like we were checking into a hotel. As a student, having some extra money is important, so it was so helpful being able to save that extra money that would have gone towards a security deposit.
Saved me so much money on my new place
Saved me so much money on my new place. Extremely happy!
This is an excellent service
This is an excellent service. It makes your life ssssso much easier! Why having to disburse a significant amount of money for a deposit if you can avoid it? I felt that it made so much sense to me simply using the money for something else!
Easy, user-friendly, painless, ...in short absolutely GREAT!!!
