Rently and Innovate360 Partner to Bring Flexible Commercial Rent Payments to Singapore Tenants
Commercial rent is one of the biggest recurring costs for many Singapore businesses.
For startups, F&B brands, food manufacturers, retailers, co-working tenants, and SMEs, rent is not just another bill. It affects cash flow, working capital, growth plans, and the ability to manage expenses smoothly month after month.
That is why Rently is launching Rently Commercial, a new solution that helps commercial tenants pay their rent in a simpler, more flexible way. https://www.rently.sg/commercial
As part of this launch, Rently is partnering with Innovate360, Singapore’s first food accelerator with facilities, manufacturing space, R&D labs, co-working offices, warehousing, retail space, and a venture fund supporting agri-food and consumer startups.
Through this partnership, eligible Innovate360 tenants will be able to use Rently Commercial to pay their commercial rent through convenient digital payment methods, including eGIRO and credit card.
What is Rently Commercial?
Rently Commercial is a managed commercial rent payment platform for landlords and tenants.
Instead of relying only on manual bank transfers, fragmented payment processes, or repeated rent chasing, Rently Commercial brings commercial rent payments into one structured platform.
For commercial tenants, this means a simpler way to manage rent. Depending on eligibility and the selected product, tenants may be able to:
Pay commercial rent by eGIRO
Pay commercial rent by credit card
Earn credit card rewards when using eligible cards
Access flexible rent payment options
Reduce move-in pressure by spreading some upfront costs
Manage rent through a clearer digital process
For landlords and operators, Rently Commercial helps make rent collection more predictable, centralised, and easier to manage.
Why this matters for commercial tenants
Most business owners already manage many recurring payments online.
Payroll, software subscriptions, suppliers, utilities, insurance, and tax payments are often handled digitally. Yet commercial rent is still frequently managed through manual transfers, reminders, invoices, and follow-ups.
That creates friction for both sides.
For tenants, commercial rent can create cash flow pressure because the payment is large, fixed, and due on a specific date. For landlords and operators, manual collection creates admin work and uncertainty.
Rently Commercial is designed to solve this by making commercial rent payments easier to manage, while giving tenants more choice in how they pay.
Pay commercial rent by eGIRO
With Rently Commercial, tenants can choose eGIRO as a payment method.
eGIRO allows rent payments to be linked directly to a bank account, helping tenants automate their rental payment process. This can reduce the need for manual transfers and lower the risk of forgetting a due date.
For commercial tenants, this is useful because rent becomes part of a more predictable monthly operating rhythm. Instead of manually making a transfer each month, tenants can set up a structured payment flow through Rently.
This is especially relevant for businesses with busy operations, such as:
F&B operators
Cloud kitchen tenants
Food manufacturing startups
Retail tenants
Office and co-working tenants
Warehouse or light industrial space tenants
SMEs with recurring monthly lease payments
Pay commercial rent by credit card
Rently Commercial also allows eligible tenants to pay commercial rent by credit card.
For many businesses, this can be useful because rent is a large monthly expense. Paying rent by credit card may help tenants access card benefits such as rewards, miles, cashback, or working capital flexibility, depending on their card programme.
This is especially valuable for commercial tenants who are already using credit cards to manage business expenses.
Instead of rent being excluded from rewards or card-based expense management, Rently Commercial makes it possible to bring rent into a more flexible payment setup.
Why Rently is partnering with Innovate360
Innovate360 is a strong launch partner for Rently Commercial because it supports a large ecosystem of startups and businesses across food, sustainability, wellness, consumer goods, manufacturing, and retail.
Innovate360 operates across multiple Singapore sites and provides facilities such as SFA-licensed kitchens, R&D labs, manufacturing space, warehousing, co-working offices, and retail or commercial spaces.
Many of its tenants are growing businesses. For these companies, cash flow and operational efficiency matter. Rent is a major cost, and having more flexibility in how rent is paid can make a real difference.
Through this partnership, Rently and Innovate360 are working together to give tenants a smoother commercial rent payment experience.
How the Rently Commercial onboarding works
The onboarding process is designed to be simple.
Eligible tenants can sign up through Rently Commercial and provide the required lease and company information. The process may include:
Confirming basic business and lease details
Adding rent information
Selecting a payment method, such as eGIRO or credit card
Uploading required documents, such as the tenancy agreement and ACRA Bizfile
Reviewing the payment setup
Completing the application for approval
Once set up, rent payments can be processed through Rently according to the agreed payment schedule.
For tenants, the goal is to make the experience clear and easy to follow. For landlords and operators, the goal is to reduce manual collection and improve payment visibility.

Key benefits for commercial tenants
1. More choice in how rent is paid
Commercial tenants should not be limited to one payment method. With Rently Commercial, tenants can access modern rent payment options such as eGIRO and credit card.
2. Better cash flow management
Rent is one of the largest fixed monthly costs for many businesses. Having more flexible payment options can help tenants better manage cash flow around revenue cycles, supplier payments, payroll, and other business expenses.
3. Potential credit card rewards
When tenants choose to pay rent by credit card, they may be able to earn rewards through their own credit card programme, subject to the terms of their card issuer.
4. Less manual admin
A structured rent payment platform reduces the need for repeated manual transfers, screenshots, reminders, and reconciliation.
5. A clearer rental payment process
Rently Commercial gives tenants a guided digital flow, making it easier to review payment details, upload required documents, and understand the next steps.
Key benefits for landlords and operators
Rently Commercial is not only useful for tenants. It also helps landlords and space operators manage rental collection more efficiently.
Benefits can include:
More predictable rent collection
Less manual chasing
Consolidated payment workflows
Clearer tenant payment tracking
A managed platform for rental processing
A better tenant payment experience
For operators managing multiple tenants, this can reduce admin work while improving the tenant experience.
Why this is important for Singapore’s commercial rental market
Commercial leasing is changing.
More businesses are looking for flexibility. Startups and SMEs want to preserve cash flow. Landlords and operators want reliable collections. Tenants expect digital payment options that match how they already manage the rest of their business.
Rently Commercial sits at the centre of this shift.
By supporting commercial rent payments through eGIRO and credit card, Rently helps bring commercial leases into a more modern payment experience.
The partnership with Innovate360 is an important first step, especially for Singapore’s startup, food innovation, and SME ecosystem.
