Rent.com.au has entered into a new partnership with electricity giant Origin Energy.
Under the terms of the deal, Origin will offer electricity and gas services to Rent.com.au customers through its existing RentConnect product as well as allowing ‘Bill Smoothing’ with its RentPay service.
Rent.com.au will be paid a commission for every customer who signs up for one of Origin’s electricity or gas plans.
The company will also return a portion of its commission to customers by providing them with a $100 gift card.
The deal is in place for an initial term of 24 months, after which Origin has the option to extend it for another 12 months.
Rent.com.au CEO Greg Bader said this was “incredibly exciting” for the growth prospects of the company.
“Not only is Origin one of the largest electricity and gas retailers in the country, powering millions of households, but importantly for us they recognise and value the uniqueness of our renting community,” Mr Bader said.
“We have always preferred a single partner model because it means we can provide a seamless experience and negotiate great deals for our customers.”
