MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 1, 2026 — Tellus App, Inc. (“Tellus”), the proptech company behind the Tellus savings app, today launched a new onboarding experience in the Tellus app for iPhone and Android. New customers start with one question, “What brings you to Tellus today?”, and choose to collect rent, pay rent or save money.
Each path asks a few short questions, shows the steps ahead, and then sets up what that customer needs. Landlords finish with a property, a lease and a tenant invitation. Tenants finish connected to their landlord. Savers finish with a goal and a first deposit amount ready to go.
What customers get:
- A path for each customer. Three choices on the first screen: Collect rent (“I’m a landlord managing properties”), Pay rent (“I’m a tenant paying my landlord”) and Save money (“I want to grow my savings”).
- Landlords set up a rental in one go. Landlords say how many rentals they run, then add their first property, enter the lease’s rent and dates, and invite their tenant. They land on their property dashboard when they finish.
- Tenants connect to their landlord. Tenants with an invite code, or an invite link from their landlord, are connected to that landlord right away. Tenants without a code tell Tellus about their landlord, and Tellus lets the landlord know.
- Savers start with a goal. Savers pick what getting ahead looks like for them: Grow what I have, A specific goal, Build the habit or Just exploring. They can name a goal or choose a preset, then pick a starting amount from suggested amounts.
- A clear overview before sign-up. Each path shows the steps ahead before the customer creates an account, and marks which ones are optional.
- Verifications in one place. A redesigned Verifications screen groups identity and property steps and shows which are done, pending or still to do.
How it works:
- Open the Tellus app, tap Create your free account, and answer “What brings you to Tellus today?” Customers with an invite code can tap I have an invite code instead.
- Landlords: choose how many rentals you run, review the overview, create your account, then add your property, set up the lease and invite your tenant. Linking a bank account to collect rent is optional during sign-up.
- Tenants: enter your invite code, or tell Tellus about your landlord. Create your account and complete a quick identity check. The app confirms you are connected and opens your property.
- Savers: choose a goal, name it or pick a preset, and choose a starting amount. Create your account, then link a bank account and make a first deposit, pre-filled with the amount you chose. Both steps are optional during sign-up. Finish by turning on Boost rewards. Customers who are just exploring can skip the goal and deposit steps.
The new onboarding is for new customers signing up in the Tellus app.
The Tellus app is available on the App Store and Google Play.
