The problem

£5.37 billion is frozen
in the UK's rental system.

Every time you move, you need a new deposit before the old one is returned. If there's a dispute, you wait months. It's broken by design.

The double deposit trap

You find your next home. Perfect. But your current deposit is tied up, or worse, stuck in a dispute. You need £1,500 from scratch while waiting for your old money back.

16% of UK tenants borrow to cover it. 29% drain their savings. And it happens every single time you move.

VaultPouch ends this. Fund your wallet once. It travels with you between every home you ever rent.

Questions

Answers up front.

Zero Deposit, Flatfair and Reposit are insurance products. You pay a non-refundable fee and never see that money again. VaultPouch holds your real cash, if you leave a property in good condition, every penny comes back to you. It's not insurance. It's your money, protected. The core VaultPouch wallet is free for tenants, with VaultPouch Plus as an optional upgrade at £1.99 a month.

Your funds are held in a ring-fenced account at an FCA-authorised and PRA-regulated UK bank, completely separate from VaultPouch's operating funds. The bank is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £120,000 per eligible depositor, which means your money is protected through the bank's own regulatory status even if VaultPouch ceased trading.

Your landlord doesn’t need a VaultPouch account. They click a link, see your verified balance, KYC status and Freedom Score, and can approve in minutes. The Deposit Passport is designed to work for any landlord, regardless of whether they’ve heard of us before.

VaultPouch Plus free for life (normally £1.99 a month), dispute help if a landlord ever claims against your deposit, a Founding Member badge on your Deposit Passport, first access to the beta, and a monthly founders' call. Plus alone pays back the £49 in about two years.

We're targeting a closed beta in late 2026 with a select group from the waitlist. Founder Pass holders get first access. If you're on the waitlist, you'll hear from us before we open to the public.

Not yet. Your deposit is held in a ring-fenced account at an FCA-authorised, PRA-regulated UK bank, covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £120,000 per eligible depositor. Your money is safe.
