Salto Joins the Bilt Neighborhood to Connect Smart Access With the Resident Experience Through Bilt Neighborhood OS

Bilt Neighborhood OS will give housing operators the option to integrate with Salto’s smart locks and digital access technology

NEW YORK — Nov. 10, 2026 — Salto, a global provider of smart access solutions, today announced a partnership with Bilt, the neighborhood commerce and rewards platform, to connect smart access with Bilt Neighborhood OS™. The partnership will bring access to apartments and eligible shared spaces into one connected resident experience, helping residents move easily through their communities and property teams simplify access management.

Bilt Neighborhood OS is an AI platform that helps businesses grow by reaching new customers and building loyalty through personalized experiences in their neighborhood. It integrates with the systems properties already use to bring property services, payments, rewards and Neighborhood Benefits™ into one connected resident experience. Through that unified layer, Bilt’s AI agents execute tasks on behalf of residents and operators across the property and Bilt’s neighborhood network of 50,000+ merchant partners, including sports venues, restaurants, fitness studios, pharmacies, parking lots, retail shops and more.

The integration will let property teams manage access through Bilt and Bilt Members unlock their homes and eligible shared spaces through the same experience they use to pay rent, request maintenance, earn rewards and explore their neighborhood. Salto’s technology gives property teams centralized control over access permissions for residents, visitors and staff, including the ability to update or revoke credentials remotely.

“Great resident experiences happen when the technologies people rely on every day work together seamlessly. That’s why we’re excited about our technology partnership with Bilt,” said Preston Grutzmacher, GTM Enablement Manager-Access Control, Salto Americas. “By bringing Salto’s industry-leading digital access experience together with the Bilt Neighborhood OS, residents can use a single platform to unlock more value from the places they live, work, and connect.”

The partnership builds on Bilt’s nationwide network of more than 8 million members, with its platform powering one in four U.S. apartment buildings. Bilt has delivered more than $1 billion in value back to members, helping them cover housing payments, pay down student loans, book travel and more. Through Bilt’s monthly Rent Day®, residents can access bonus rewards and exclusive experiences, and play for the chance to have their rent covered through Rent Free™.

Built around how residents live

Bilt’s inaugural State of the Neighborhood Study, conducted with 451 Research by S&P Global, found that two-thirds of U.S. consumers do at least 80% of their everyday spending within 15 miles of home. The study also found:

  • 77% of renters say rewards on housing payments would make them more likely to stay in their home long term; and

  • 83% of renters say one platform for everything, from rent payments to dinner reservations, would meaningfully improve their experience.

“Residents shouldn’t have to piece together the experience of living in their own building,” said Ankur Jain, Founder and CEO of Bilt. “With Salto, opening your door becomes part of the same experience as paying rent, booking an amenity or using your benefits at a neighborhood restaurant.”
