@Stake

Stake (Stake Technologies, Inc., NMLS #2535498) operates the "Return on Rent" cash-back network for renters. Renters earn cash back on their rent payments, build credit history through on-time payments, unlock exclusive local deals, and access banking services including an FDIC-insured checking account and debit card provided through banking partner Midland States Bank. Co-founded by Rowland Hobbs and Jimmy Jacobson, the platform reports more than 550,000 homes in its network and over $50M in cash back earned by renters, averaging roughly $350 per renter annually. Stake is a consumer-facing fintech product; it does not publish a public developer API, SDK, or documentation surface at this time. Added to the API Evangelist network as a VC-portfolio lead (surfaced under Battery Ventures).

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Banking & Open Finance regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
