Processing fee
Flex charges a 0.5% processing fee on your total rent each month you split rent. This covers submitting your full rent payment to your property. It's charged with your 1st payment.
Split fee
The split fee is the cost of splitting your rent into two payments. It's up to 3% of the amount you borrow for your 2nd payment.
A few things to know:
- Only applies when you split rent that month
- Calculated at the time your rent cycle begins
- Doesn't change if you pay your 2nd payment early
To lower the fee:
Borrow less — the less you borrow, the less you pay. You can adjust your credit use in the app by navigating to Settings > Rent and payments.
Be sure to make the adjustments to your payment split before the month’s rent payment cycle is kicked off, especially if you have autopay ON. The split fee is set at that point and can't be reduced by making early repayments.
Please note, your monthly membership fee will be charged every month regardless of how you split your rent payments.
Credit card fee
If you pay Flex with a credit card, a 2.5% surcharge applies to each payment made with that card.
Note: Some credit card issuers may classify Flex payments as cash advances [link cash advance article], which could trigger separate fees from your issuer. These are not Flex fees.
