Together with our funders, tenants, and investors, Abacus transforms housing into opportunity — turning rent into ownership and investment into impact.
Abacus Housing is a purpose-driven platform connecting families, funders, and investors through financial innovation, data intelligence, and AI-powered tools. Our mission is to make ownership attainable, transparent, and wealth-building — transforming how affordable housing is delivered and financed.
Using AI and data insights, we match clients with affordable homes, suitable funding, and practical ownership pathways. From rent-to-own programs to shortfall financing, Abacus helps families progress toward ownership while giving investors access to strong, impact-driven returns.
For nearly two decades, Abacus Housing has supported South Africa’s middle-income families with innovative housing finance solutions.
From our early days helping first-time buyers access credit, we’ve grown into a data-driven ecosystem — blending finance, technology, and partnerships to make homeownership attainable.
Through collaboration with NHFC’s First Home Finance, unions and pension funds offering PBHL, and lenders like Absa, we’ve extended access to affordable finance.
Together with tech partners such as Mortgage Market and property leaders SA Corporate / Afhco, we’ve connected every piece — funding, property, and people — through smart systems and AI.
After nearly 20 years, we can now help a client move from renting to owning in just two minutes.
That’s the New Math of Abacus: 20 years of building = 2 minutes to homeownership.
Doing good for our communities and doing well for our investors go hand in hand.
