About Obligo

Obligo is the simplest way to establish trust between renters and landlords. Harnessing the power of open banking, big data, and AI, Obligo determines the risk of both landlords and renters and assumes the risk of the rental transaction. By acting as a trusted 3rd party, Obligo rids landlords and renters from the burden of security deposits. Deposit-free properties, powered by Obligo, are simpler to operate and much more attractive to renters.

Obligo is backed by VCs such as 83North, 10D, and Entree Capital.
