All statistics quoted are from RENT research, calculated using both internal and external/third party data. * Customer value calculated as: RR = monthly Renter Products Revenue / Renter Resume created, RentPay = RentPay revenue / RentPay customers x average tenancy duration
The opportunity is massive – x20 on size, x20 on value and a x20 on engagement window
25
RentPay is the foundation
==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
Payments are a logical platform for RNT to transition with our customer into the Tenancy period
==> picture [274 x 257] intentionally omitted <==
-
Our prior acquisition has given us experience/capability
-
Rental payments are something that every renter needs/uses
-
Finding a new rental presents a key opportunity to onboard a customer
-
Must be unique/different and offer true value back to the renter
A modern payments solution is the key - high relevance, high engagement, annuity revenue
26
but will morph in key areas
==> picture [72 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
-
Consumer Led – traditional products require an Agent to be subscribed to the solution, then renters are coerced into using the product
-
RentPay will become Consumer led, Renters will want to use the service
-
RentPay will operate “invisibly”, any Renter can use the product to pay any Agent (market portability)
