“I’m thrilled to join Obligo as the company has taken a clear lead in the deposit solution space with its innovative model and API-first distribution strategy,” said Rosenthal. “Obligo’s machine learning and AI-powered qualification model is not only pioneering in the space, but establishes the robust foundation that ensures sustainable, long-term growth.”

Obligo’s holistic suite of deposit solutions powers a trusted and streamlined rental experience for both properties and renters. The solution provides properties with the ability to maintain full protection, reduce bad debt, and offer an appealing amenity to prospective renters – who can choose to keep their security deposit, and instead use it to save, invest, or spend.

As the industry’s API partner of choice, Obligo can be easily embedded in property management and financial services software, offering scalable architectures, top-tier customer service, and the highest standards of security.

The company recently announced an additional $35M in funding to fuel its continued product innovation, IP development, and expansion of strategic partnerships.
