The product is part of Jetty’s financial services platform, which also includes offerings designed to help property managers increase lease conversions, improve resident retention reduce bad debt and boost net operating income.

Jetty’s new investors include Citi and Flourish Ventures.

That investment was slated to further enhance Jetty’s existing products and support development of new ones. A deal in June 2020 made Farmers-owned Toggle Insurance Company the exclusive reinsurance provider for all new policies written under Jetty’s Core products: Jetty Deposit and Jetty Renters Insurance.
