Your Deposit, That Works For You
Your security deposit shouldn't disappear into a black box. With Idle, you get full visibility into your money, earn competitive interest, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with FDIC-insured protection—all while making the move-out process smoother.
What Idle Means For You
Always Know Where Your Money Is See your deposit balance, track interest earned, and access your account anytime through our simple, secure platform. No more wondering if your landlord actually has your money.
Earn Interest on Your Deposit Unlike traditional deposits that sit idle, your money earns competitive yields in FDIC-insured accounts. That means more money back in your pocket when you move out.
Faster, Easier Move-Outs When it's time to move, Idle streamlines the return process. Clear documentation, automated calculations, and transparent deductions mean less stress and faster refunds.
Protected and Secure Your deposit is held in regulated financial institutions with FDIC insurance coverage. We're a technology platform, not a bank—which means we don't hold your funds, banks do.
How It Works
1. Your Property Manager Uses Idle When you move in, your deposit is placed into an FDIC-insured account through the Idle platform.
2. Track Your Deposit Anytime Log in anytime to view your balance, interest earned, and account details.
3. Get Your Money Back Quickly When you move out, Idle handles the return process efficiently and transparently—far faster than traditional methods. No more waiting 3+ weeks for a check in the mail.
4. Keep Your Collateral Safe No need to withdraw funds between moves. Let your interest compound without interruption. Over the long haul, this can add up to a meaningful amount.
