Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 73 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the platform for making relocations significantly less stressful by conveniently covering expensive security deposits in exchange for a manageable fee. People also state that the entire digital application procedure is exceptionally fast, completely straightforward, and remarkably user-friendly from the very beginning to the end. However, some customers also noted unexpected challenges when navigating the online payment portal and dealing with surprisingly high service costs. Several reviewers explicitly mentioned experiencing frustrating confusion regarding specific deposit eligibility requirements, unexpected communications from representatives, and surprise charges after moving into their new homes.

I had never heard of this company but…

I had never heard of this company but it was very helpful. I was able to move in without paying a full deposit and now I can pay for moving services since we’re moving from another state. Very convenient and helpful. Would definitely use this company again and again.

Peace of mind

What a great service to give me peace of mind that I'll be able to comfortably move into my new rental. Fee was worth it!

I never knew this was even possible

I never knew this was even possible. I'm moving in deposit free and couldn't be happier! It's 2 weeks before Thanksgiving and the government has shutdown, paying the deposit would have made my Holidays a bit slim. The management company mentioned this new program to help. I filled out the application and within minutes, I was approved. All that I had to pay was a 10% fee and scheduled to move in next month. Thanks Obligo!

Trash

Trash. I was eligible to pay 10% of my deposit but the service continued to error indicating that “the option wasn’t available yet”. When reaching out to support they stated because I did not have the full deposit amount in the connected account (not the 10%, the full deposit) that I was not eligible for the service? Why not just spell that prerequisite out when going to submit. It’s dumb to assume I keep all my money in a bank account that doesn’t accumulate APY. You told me it’d be $50 so the account has $50. If it’s actually checking for $500 just say that- don’t expect people to just know these “systematic limitations”. Or just don’t offer the service to begin with if you don’t even know how it works. Just absolutely idiotic concept that was nothing but a waste of my time and energy

Hi Rebecca,

We're sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration around your qualification experience. To clarify, Obligo doesn’t simply check for a specific balance in your connected account, our qualification process includes a combination of factors to ensure eligibility.

We appreciate your feedback and we understand that messaging around this could have been clearer - we are actively working to improve how these requirements are communicated upfront.

If you have any remaining questions or need help with your account, our team is always available at support@myobligo.com.

Cannot change credit card easily and support is non-existent

Their support is some of the worst I have ever experienced on an online service. Their response time through the chat is horrific. There is no way to contact them other than the chat and email. I have yet to have received any response on how to change the credit card I wanted to use for my security deposit.

Lower security deposit stakes

It made all the security deposit steps care-free: I didn't feel the pressure of getting my money back, and paying your landlord (if necessary) is a couple button clicks; no checks!
