Core payments for signing up customers

Utility Warehouse offers 4 core services:

  1. Energy (gas and electricity)
  2. Broadband
  3. Mobile
  4. Insurance

Partners are paid based on signing people up for services and the more services customers take, the more commission is earned.

Earnings are also different depending on whether the customers are homeowners or tenants. UW pays more upfront for homeowners, but takes longer to start paying for residual income for those customers.

Payments for tenants who sign up

There are only 3 core services for tenants because tenants don’t get boiler cover or home cover.

Important information

  • If customers who sign up with you subsequently take other services through UW, you will not be paid for the additional services.
  • You will not be paid at all for energy when signing up people who have only prepayment meters. At least one energy type must be on a credit meter.
  • Additional items taken as part of a core service do not increase the number of core services. For example, a person taking 2 mobile sims instead of one will not be counted twice. It will be classed as taking one core service.

Residual income

Residual income is paid for customers who stay with UW, so look after your customers 🙂

It is usually between 1% and 6% of the customer’s bill each month and is paid after a certain period of time. It is paid more quickly for tenants who sign up as customers to compensate for the lower upfront core payment. Please see the tables above.
