The easiest £300+ a year I make,
just for paying rent.
Ribbon turns your monthly rent payment into points you can spend at Amazon, Eurostar, Deliveroo and more. I've been using it for 14 months — and you get £25 just for signing up with my code.
How it works. Four steps, two minutes.
Create your account
Complete sign-up and get your own UK sort code and account number in your name.
Redirect rent payment
Update your standing order so rent goes to your Ribbon account first.
Funds forward instantly
Griffin forwards the payment to your landlord over Faster Payments with your usual reference.
Earn and redeem points

What you could actually earn.
The full sign-up, in four stages.
My actual account.
This is from my real Ribbon account last month.
On 31 March 2026 I paid £795 in rent. It forwarded to my landlord, I got a downloadable proof of payment, and the points landed the same day — including a 2,500-point referral bonus from someone using my code.
The redeem options are the part most people don't expect: Amazon, Eurostar, Deliveroo, Hotels.com, Apple, Ryanair, Nike, Nando's, John Lewis, Asda — all common stuff you'd actually spend money on anyway.

The actual questions you'll have.
Yes. Ribbon gives you a personal account provided by Griffin Bank Ltd, a regulated UK bank infrastructure provider (FRN 970920). Eligible balances are covered by FSCS up to £85,000.
Sign up through the referral link and verify KIAN63DB is present during the final onboarding stage before submission. The bonus is credited after your first successful rent payment.
No. Your landlord receives a normal UK bank transfer with your existing payment reference, and no landlord action is required.
Standard earn rate is 1 point per £1 of rent. Some partner properties can earn 1.5 points per £1, increasing total annual value.
No. Identity checks are performed for AML/KYC compliance, but this is a soft verification process and does not create a hard credit search.
Yes. Ribbon works with private landlords, letting agents, and housing associations as long as your rent recipient accepts UK bank transfer payments.
