Termina vs energy brokers

We're not a broker. We're the opposite

A broker is paid a commission by the retailer that wins your contract. We refuse retailer commissions and are paid only from what we save you.

A broker is paid by the retailer, so its incentive points their way.

We're paid only by you, only when you save. Our incentive is yours.

Who actually pays your broker?

It isn't you, at least not on the invoice. Most brokers earn a commission from the retailer they place you with, often for the life of your contract.

That commission is built into the rate you pay. So the deal that pays the broker best can win, even when it isn't your lowest rate.

Broker or Termina

The same job, a very different model

A typical broker

  • Paid a commission by the retailer that wins your contract
  • Quotes a panel of retailers they hold agreements with
  • The fee is baked into the rate you end up paying
  • Incentive sits with the retailer, not with you
  • Placed once at signing, then hands-off until you chase
  • Paid whether you save money or not

Termina

  • Paid only from a share of what we actually save you
  • Tenders the entire retailer market, agnostic to who wins
  • $0 to join, nothing to pay unless we beat your rate
  • Our only incentive is your genuinely lowest rate
  • We re-tender at every renewal, across every site, ongoing
  • If no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill

We're not a better broker. We're a different model: paid only when we save you money.

The questions people ask

Questions, answered straight

Isn't a broker free to me?

Not really. The broker's commission is paid by the retailer and built into the rate you're offered, so you carry it in your energy bill either way. We refuse those commissions, so nothing is baked into your rate.

Do you take any retailer commission?

None. We're paid only from a share of what we save you, measured against your current rate. If we don't beat it, there's nothing to pay.

What if I already have a broker?

Worth asking who pays them. We're happy to run the whole market against your current deal and show you the difference, with no obligation.

Do you really cover the whole market?

Yes. We're retailer agnostic and tender across 60+ retailers, not a fixed panel we hold agreements with.

Whose side is your energy on?

A broker is paid by the other side of the table. We're only ever paid by you, and only when you save.

$0 unless we save you money. If no better rate is found in 12 months, you get $100 off your next bill. Guarantee applies in Australia.
