International Students

Move into your UK home with just one month’s rent

No deposit. No UK guarantor. No credit history needed. CasaPay works with your accommodation provider so you can move in faster.

The problem you face

Moving to the UK is hard enough. The rental system makes it harder.

Guarantor gatekeeping

UK landlords require a UK-based guarantor earning 2.5–3x your rent. Guarantor services cost £295–500/year or 60–95% of one month’s rent. That’s hundreds of pounds before you’ve even moved in.

Deposit lock-up

£3,000–6,000 tied up in a deposit scheme before you’ve bought a textbook. That’s money better spent on tuition, travel, or settling into a new country.

Cross-border payment pain

Bank transfers from home cost £15–40 per transaction, take 2–5 business days, and exchange rates eat into your budget every single month.

How CasaPay works

Three steps to move in — no deposit, no guarantor.

1

Your provider sends you a CasaPay link

Your accommodation provider invites you to complete your CasaPay profile — it takes less than five minutes.

2

Verify your identity — no UK credit needed

Upload your passport and proof of income. CasaPay screens you based on cash flow and identity — not a UK credit file you don’t have.

3

Pay your first month and move in

Pay your first month’s rent and move in. CasaPay guarantees the rest to your operator — no deposit, no guarantor needed.

What you get

Everything you need to rent in the UK — without the barriers international students usually face.

Zero deposit move-in

CasaPay’s guarantee replaces traditional deposits. Your operator is protected, and your money stays in your pocket.

Screening that works for you
