    It might help get a mortgage in the future. It's hard to predict.

    Can you think of any reason not to?

    I'm not sure it'll help that much with a mortgage, they are usually much more thorough than they are with things like credit cards and loans as they usually request at least the last three months bank statements so will see the rent payments anyway.

    I bank with Starling and they have partnered with a company called CreditLadder that apparently now record your rent as part of your credit score. Just signed up with them for free so will see if it makes a difference

    You must mean your history since only you can see your credit score.

    You don't even need a Starling account - you can do it with any current account.

    No, you cannot. There's a list of current account providers that can be used. I had to get a Halifax CC because my BOFI CC wasn't supported.
