WeZebra: The O2O App That Will Pay Your Rent Has Just Landed An A Series
WeZebra, a payment platform that provides installment plans to home renters, has raised a series A funding in the tens of millions (RMB) led by China Renaissance K2 Ventures, followed by installment plan provider Fenqile, and joined by N5 Capital. (Chinese source)
In China, rental installments are typically three to six months at a time. WeZebra found a niche market when they realized there are many students or young white collar workers that struggle to pay the fees upfront. Founded earlier this year, the company provides installment payment for low income individuals who are looking to rent homes. They received a 5 million RMB ($771,000 USD) angel investment this February.
The service monetizes through a 4% commission fee for three-months rental and a 6% commission fee for six-month rentals. After the advance payment of the first month’s rental with service fee, the tenant can pay monthly.
Monthly installment platforms are not a new concept for Chinese startups. Fenqile, one of the contributors to this investment, is a Chinese student micro-credit site that allows buyers to borrow small sums of money for consumer electronics, paying them off in monthly installments. The company recently announced a strategic investment from e-commerce giant JD.com this May to offer monthly installments to its customers.
WeZebra’s services now covers three Chinese cities, Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, and they are planning to expand to Guangzhou and Shenzhen later this year. According to the company, some members in the team hail from Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba. The company is founded by post-90s CEO Ping Dong.

中国では、賃借料の分割払いは通常、一度に3ヶ月から6ヶ月となる。WeZebraがニッチ市場を見つけたのは、料金を前払いすることに四苦八苦する生徒や若いホワイトカラーの労働者が多くいることに気づいたときだった。今年早々に設立された同社は、借家を探している低所得者に対する分割払いを提供する。同社は、今年の2月に500万RMB (77万1000米ドル)のエンジェル投資を受けた。
サービスは、3ヶ月の賃借料に対して4％のコミッション料から、6ヶ月の賃借料に対して6％のコミッション料からマネタイズする。サービス料金込みの最初の1ヶ月の賃借料前払いの後、賃借人は毎月支払える。

月賦払いのプラットフォームは、中国のスタートアップにとっては新しいコンセプトではない。この投資に寄与したうちの1社Fenqileは、買い手が家庭用電化製品に対して小額のお金を借りて、月賦で完済できるという中国人学生向け小額融資サイトだ。同社は最近、月賦払いを顧客に提供するため、この5月にeコマースの大手JD.comからの戦略的投資を発表した。
WeZebraのサービスは現在、北京、上海、成都の中国の3つの街を網羅しており、年内には広州、深川へと拡大することを計画している。同社によると、チームのメンバーの中にはBaidu、Tencent、Alibabaの出身の人もいる。同社は最高経営責任者、90後のPing Dong氏によって設立された。
