When money is tight, even a small bump can derail carefully balanced finances.

Cushion helps renter households weather the unexpected. 

How it works

Cushion is a tool for financial resilience. We help you weather qualifying life events - auto repair, healthcare expenses, and earnings shortfalls - that create hardship and a cash gap.

Cushion lets you make more flexible rent payments. This will often look like making a partial rent payment on the last day of the month. You and Cushion will agree to a payment plan for the rest of the rent due, consisting of weekly payments that include an additional $2 a week in interest.
