  • Consumers are provided with a free energy report, which visually shows the impact of switching on their monthly costs.
  • As well as helping consumers save money right away, they have an unprecedented set of options for managing ongoing switches, so they can overcome the hassle of switching and never overpay in future.
  • Consumers can choose from:
    • Self-service: automatic reminders at the right time to come back to the app and switch
    • Auto-switch: be automatically switched once the criteria are met (amount of savings available, customer service rating, renewable energy source, etc.)
    • One-click switching: receives texts or emails in future with deals which meet their criteria, and upon confirming they wish to go ahead, the switch is automatically undertaken.
