Role overview
Nuba Rewards is a UK-based financial technology company that enables tenants to pay their rent by credit or debit card while earning reward points that can be redeemed for benefits such as future rent discounts, travel, hotels, and other perks.[4][8][16][19][22] Nuba acts as an intermediary in the payment process: renters pay Nuba using their chosen payment card, and Nuba then transfers the rent amount to the landlord via bank transfer, charging a small transaction fee depending on the card network.[8] The service is positioned as a PropTech solution focused on UK residential real estate, aiming to make rent payments more flexible, unlock card rewards on a major monthly expense, and provide smarter tenant finance tools and insights through its platform and blog content.[8][19][21][24]
