Boom only reports your on-time payments (within 30 days of due date) that we find in your payment data. Delinquent payments aren't reported.
Boom uses an encrypted third-party service to link your bank account and automatically detect and verify rental payments.
Boom works with all payment types except cash, money orders and cashiers checks. Boom accepts Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, check, ACH, property management portal, and more.
Enrolling never requires any credit pull that could negatively impact your credit.
Boom can report up to 24 months of past rent payments from your current residential lease, as long as you're still renting there.
A rental tradeline is a line-item on your credit report that reflects your rent payment history. Rent payments are not automatically included on your credit report, so a third party is needed to report them. Boom is a credentialed rental payment data furnisher with the three major credit bureaus.

With Boom, we only report positive payment history. You can still use Boom if you’ve missed a couple rent payments or have been late paying rent. There is no credit check, no hard inquiry — just positive-only payment reporting and a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Your credit report will be updated in as few as 10 days from the time of checkout. While Boom verifies customer data in as few as 48 hours, the credit bureaus can take longer to furnish the data on the credit report. Given the various timelines of the credit bureaus, we suggest waiting up to 30 days from when we verify your customer data to see your credit report updated.
Your roommate can use Boom too! All residents on the lease are eligible for BoomReport as long as there is a formal lease agreement and they are on the lease. All users are required to enroll with their own BoomReport account and all residents need to link a bank account which they use to pay their rent (even if it's to a roommate via Venmo or Cash App).
