Big News: Esusu Acquires Celeri to Revolutionize Fraud Prevention in Housing! We’re excited to announce that Esusu has acquired Celeri, a leader in AI-powered fraud prevention solutions for the residential real estate industry. This marks a significant step forward in our mission to build trust, streamline leasing processes, and empower communities with fair housing opportunities. Fraud is a growing challenge in the housing market. 1 in 10 rental applicants submit false documents, and 93% of property managers have faced fraud incidents in the past year. Celeri’s solutions align with Esusu’s core value of fostering fairness and equity. By removing unconscious bias in the screening process, we ensure that hardworking families have a fair chance at securing housing. "Today, we’re making a bold leap toward a housing market that is more secure, efficient, and fair,” said Wemimo Abbey and Samir Goel, Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Esusu. “By welcoming Celeri to the Esusu platform, we’re equipping our customers with sophisticated fraud prevention tools that save thousands in lost rent and eviction costs while breaking down barriers for hardworking families seeking a place to call home.” We’re just getting started.
