humm retailer update Simplified offering wins over retailers with ‘big things’

  • Humm continues dominance in key homewares, electrical and health verticals with: Temple & Webster, Bing Lee, Betta Electrical, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Jaycar, Sunboost, 1300 SMILES among the numerous retailers to join the platform.

  • Retailers are favouring humm’ s differentiated offering, broader demographic and spending power, with 2,000 seller locations added since May, taking the total to 15,000 partners.

  • Humm is driving higher value sales with an average transaction value of $3,760 with its ‘big things’ wallet and over $400 for ‘little things’ online – nearly double that of other BNPL payment types.

  • In the month following the relaunch of flexigroup ’s BNPL product as humm in Australia the total number of transactions increased by 22% and transaction volume grew by 16%.

FlexiGroup Limited (ASX: FXL) (“ flexigroup ”) today announces that it has added a number of high profile retailers to its Buy Now Pay Later ( “BNPL” ) platform, humm . These retailers represent healthy momentum across humm ’s target verticals of homewares, electrical, health and home improvement.

Commenting on the announcement, Rebecca James, Chief Executive Officer at flexigroup said:

“Increasing retailer relationships and reinvigorating flexigroup brands are core elements of the business strategy for flexigroup . Key components of the plan also include the right-sizing of the group cost structure, simplifying and modernising IT systems, and marketing – all areas in which increased investment is being made.

“Our BNPL offering was the first of our suite of products to undergo simplification – merging two little known brands into one compelling proposition. humm’s differentiated offering - enabling transactions up to $30,000 completely interest free - is not only resonating with both retailers and consumers, but is also displacing competitors in key categories.

“Retailers are favouring humm’s broader demographic and spending power, helping them drive higher value sales. And shoppers are embracing the ability to make larger lifestyle purchases more affordable by paying in interest free instalments.”

Today flexigroup announces that the following merchants have joined the humm community:

Homewares and home improvement retailers:

  • Temple & Webster is Australia's leading online retailer of furniture and homewares.
