This isn't rent-to-own

A real pathway to bank finance — not a rental trap.

Most "rent-to-own" programs leave you renting forever or locked into a single car. DepositBuilder graduates you off the program and into proper finance with a real lender.

Typical Rent-to-Own

Rent forever, then own that car

  • —High total cost over the rental term
  • —Locked into one vehicle for years
  • —No credit profile improvement
  • —No genuine cash deposit at the end
  • —Often ABN-only
