How it works

Four steps from move-in day to a verified rental history.

01

Find your residence

Search for your university or college in x-ave's verified payee directory. All major Ontario on-campus residences are pre-loaded and ready to pay.

02

Enter your student ID

Your student ID is your residence account reference. x-ave validates the format against your school's Bill Pay payee record before the payment is sent.

03

Pay with any card

Pay your residence fees with a credit or debit card — even before you have a Canadian bank account. x-ave sends the payment directly to your school's residence office via Bill Pay.

04

Build your Renter Passport

Every on-time residence payment is recorded in your x-ave Renter Passport — a verified rental history that Canadian landlords recognise when you move off-campus and apply for your first apartment.

Renter Passport

Your proof of payment, ready before you even need it.

Most international students arrive in Canada with no rental history. That makes it nearly impossible to rent an apartment off-campus without a co-signer or a large deposit.

Every residence payment you make through x-ave is recorded in your Renter Passport — a verified, shareable record of your on-time payments. When you are ready to move off-campus, show it to any Canadian landlord as proof you pay on time.
